When we found out that we were moving to Omaha, Nebraska, one of the first things Paul's dad told him was "start looking for CWS tickets!" Paul and his whole family LOVE baseball, so it's pretty convenient that we live here for now! Anne and Steve drove out and arrived on June 18th. That very first night Paul and his dad went to a game and went on to see 3 more together! Paul also saw a game the night before his parents arrived with his boss Mike.
On Friday Hayden and I joined them, it was soooo hot, but fun to be apart of the series. I got some HORRIBLE tan lines from this game, I've always had swim suit tan lines in the summer not shirt and short lines!
Saturday we went to the gym, Costco and then Anne and I shopped in preparation for Father's Day. It was fun having Anne and Steve here for Father's day as well. Made the day much more special. Saturday night, Paul, Anne and Steve saw a night game.
Sometime while they were here, Steve was mowing our law and discovered 7 new born baby bunnies! Their eyes weren't even open yet, they were pretty cute. Their mom watched over them for about 2 weeks and then they all hopped away.
On Monday we took them to the downtown area and went on the slides again of course and walked around "Old Market." As normal one of us flew off the slides using the wax paper, this time it was Paul. This was his first time going down them. Here is Hayden posing in front of an elephant in Old Market. That night we all went out to eat at one of our new favorite restaurants here: Jams. After Paul and his dad went to another baseball game.
While the boys were at the game we went to the park and let the kids play. Reid loves the slides every time we go to any park and tolerates the swings. I think he gets motion sick.
Tuesday Paul had to work, but the rest of us went to the
Omaha Zoo. Anne and Steve were impressed by the Rain Forest and the other exhibits at the zoo. The Zoo is also located right where the old CWS stadium, Rosenblatt used to be. We took a few pictures and read about the history of the field.
Reid's new thing: he must have one treat in each hand! He was melting down until he had an ice cream cone in each hand. Silly boy!
Grandma took the kids of the Merry-Go-Round at the zoo, Hayden loved it and we think Reid did. He was VERY serious throughout the whole ride.
On the way home we stopped off at the CWS stadium one more time for a picture in front
Grandma and Grandpa picked out these cute 4th of July outfits. Since Paul and I weren't here on the 4th I figured I should post a picture!
We love having visitors and this was such a fun visit from the Pratts. It's always hard when they leave and the house feels a little empty and sad. Glad we'll be out in Utah in a few weeks to visit with them again.
