omaha...somewhere in middle america~

sorry i could not help but throw that in for the blog post title.
so this past week we decided to go on vacation.

we had been planning it for a while and we had a bunch of fun.

i will apologize now. i will be posting quite a few blogs in the next couple of days, just so that i can document all the fun stuff we did on our vacation.

the first thing we did was load all the kiddos up and travel to omaha nebraska!

some of you might be thinking, "wow that sounds like a fun place."

it was!! there are all kinds of great things to do there. so get ready. if you read this often enough you will see all the great stuff that we did.

so here we go with the first day!

we got to the hotel and after a little confusion with our hotel rooms we got everything worked out and under control.

(i wanted to post a picture because i loved the colors in our hotel room. i thought they were really cute.)

because we got there about four we decided to take the kids swimming for a little while and get out some of those wiggles from the car. they had a great time.

the kiddos in their swim suits waiting pretty patiently to go swimming!i had to post one of just briea. i have been waiting forever to put her in this suit. i just love it. seriously she is so stinking cute!!

after we went swimming we decided to go and get a bit to eat. boy things just got comical from there.

we were sitting at the table of the restaurant and kael let out this trucker man sized beltch. we all spun our heads around, amazed that that sound came out of this little boy. kael laughed and said "excuse me". we were all trying not to laugh but half the restaurant looked.

then briea was getting fussy and garran went to pick her up at of her car seat. garrans dad said, "she has something on her pants". you guessed it DIAPER EXPLOSION!!!

so we got that all cleaned up and i look over and cullan is sound asleep at the table. we played pretty hard at the pool. i had even said that i thought that kaels huge burp might be due to the fact that he kept swallowing pool water, even after being told a number of times not to.

finally our food came and we were all enjoying our meals. kael very sweetly looks up at us and says "i dont feel good". we just said oh ok, well when we get back to the hotel you can lay down. he did not really say to much and so we continued on with our meal. the waitress brought some to go boxes for us and all of a sudden kael started to cough. we all knew what was next. garrans mom grabbed a to go box just in time and kael filled it up. at this point we decided that no one was very hungry anymore. we thanked the waitress, paid the bill and left. we got back to the hotel and called it an evening. lucky for us, kaels throwing up was due to drinking the pool water and not the flu or anything like that.

stay tuned for day two and more fun adventures!
