YEAH for Monday. Jackson and Jenna are in their final week of Summer School. The boys have doctor appointments today. We will all be at VBS (Vacation Bible School) this week from 5:30 to 8:30. I'm a crew leader for the preschoolers (Jenna is in my class). Jeff will work the registration table. The kids will attend.
We had a nice weekend. We were sad the Jeff's dad wasn't feeling well and they had to postpond their trip down here to see us. We look forward to showing them around!
Friday my neighbor Charlotte and I went to a music bar in Omaha to hear the music of Vicky Emerson. Check out her music at www.vickyemerson.com. She is an old UWRF gal. We have mutual friends, but this was the first time we had met. Char and I stayed for the first set, but it was late so we left as she was about to start the second set. Before the concert we tried out a new restaurant called the Mongolian Hut. You get a bowl and add meat, then noodles, than veggies, and at least 5 sauces and they grill it on a HUGE round grill. It cooks down nicely and serve it with rice. It's suppose to be an all you can eat, but after one helping - I was stuffed! I can see it as an adult only place. I'm not sure my kids would appreciate it! After some great conversations we got home about 11:00PM. I stayed up with Jeff as he finished watching the movie Contact.
Saturday was a day at home. We did the usual household chores.
Sunday we Celebrated Father's Day. We had a light breakfast, let Jeff open his gifts, and went to church. After church we headed to "Up Stream Brewery" for brunch! Again, I can see this as more of an adult restaurant. The kids weren't that used to waiting for food. However, the food was great! We all enjoyed tasting the home 'root beer' brew. After brunch we headed home to get our swimming suits on. We decided to check out the Platte River and walk on the sand bars and swim in the river. The kids had a blast! I got my flipflops caught under some sand and needed help to dig it out! After our first river stop we decided to go to a State Park and swim. Once we got there we realized we didn't have enough money to pay at the pool (we had a state park sticker to get in, but needed $14.50 for the pool and we only had $9.00). So, we went to a different part of the Platte River. This part was deeper and the river was flowing faster. At one time Jackson and Jenna put their faces underwater and I couldn't see them. This FREAKED me out (you have to imagine a fast current and kids who don't swim). So, I pulled the plug on the fun and said it was time to go! The kids were disappointed, but better safe than sorry.
We arrived home. Kids watched "Hoodwinked" and Jeff and I layed in the sun in the back yard. We all cleaned up and got the river smell off of us and grilled out. Kids went to bed early, and so did we! It was a great day!
