To Omaha We Go!

For Labor Day Weekend, Mike and I ventured ALL THE WAY to Omaha, NE (a trip that was about 4 years late!) to see our dear friends Chris and Jill Peters and their adorable little girls. Luckily, Kelley and Chen also made the voyage to the great corn state and we all got to enjoy the weekend together.

On our first morning there, we went to see the Omaha Zoo.  This kids were excited (but so was I).

Here are  few shots from our zoo trip:

Hey, its not just for kids.

Juliette and Claire really get along well now - here is a bit of evidence...

We then got to enjoy a Mexican BBQ at Casa de Peters compliments of the cooking styles of Mr. Eduardo Chenhalls.  Kelley surprised Chen by dressing the girls in matching Mexico jerseys!!

The next day, we did a bit of lounging around. The girls got to enjoy a backyard sprinkler and the adults slowly migrated to the only shade in the backyard.

Here is Jill with a very wet Lily.

And a very wet Claire.

Finally, on our last night, the parents enlisted the help of two young babysitters to free the adults to hit the town! And hit it, we did. Here we are at a classic steakhouse in Omaha at the beginning of our night.

And finally, the crew just before getting ready to go. It was a great night.

It was a great weekend. Thank you Chris and Jill for putting all of us up in your house for the weekend. Love you!!
