On Saturday the five of us headed to Omaha and started our fun by going to the zoo! The kids had a blast and ran from exhibit to exhibit pointing and loving the beautiful weather! We were only able to hang out there for a few hours...we had to head to our hotel and get ready for the TAYLOR SWIFT concert!! I had gotten us tickets a few weeks before and the kids were so excited to go!
We freshened up and then headed to my friend Misty's house to drop Aidan off. She watched him so we didn't have to wrestle him at the concert! We got to the concert a little early and scored AMAZING parking!! It was a short walk to the Qwest center and LONG line at the souvinier shop! We had pretty good seats and loved the concert. Honestly, I had never been impressed with her live performances that I had seen on TV. I didn't think she sounded very good but she was amazing in concert! Payton was on the edge of her seat the entire time and I couldn't even get her to turn and look at me! She never took her eyes off the show. We absolutely go back and see her! When we were done we headed back to get Aidan and then to bed!
The hotel we stayed at had a water park in it so we headed down as soon as they opened and had a blast! Aidan wasn't too sure of it at first but he warmed up very quickly. He was getting so tired and ended up falling asleep and took a nap while I held him. We haven't done that in a long time!
Sunday night we headed back to Misty's house. She invited us over for a BBQ. We had a lot of fun and had some yummy food!! We ended up calling it an early night because the kids were just plain worn out!
We were hoping to sleep in the next day but the kids were up pretty early. Monday was Carson's 7th birthday! He was a little bummed because he didn't think he was going to have fun on his special day b/c we were heading home. We had to quickly change his mind! First, we headed down to the pool and swam for a little bit before checking out. We went to Cabellas and let Carson pick out a new pair of Keen sandals / shoes. He has been wanting them for a while but we had not been able to get them in his size. He got a really cute pair and a new t-shirt.
Aidan was starting to get really tired and fell asleep in the car on the way to Chuck E Cheese. We put him in the stroller and he slept through the entire visit there! Carson and Payton had a blast. We got them over 200 tokens and they collected their prize tickets and chose a ton of "fun" toys to bring home! We were there for over two hours!
It was time to head back to Minnesota...the kids had a nice nap on the way home. It took forever to unpack the car -- thank you Mike! :)
Carson will be having his birthday party this coming weekend so I will have more pictures then!
