Vacation - Days 4, 5, & 6
Friday -- I'm not really sure what all Grammy and the girls did on Friday! I think they just stayed home and played. Looks like they played in the house, went for a walk, played at the park, and made popsicles! Tonight, after I got home from work and both girls woke from their naps, we went to a friends house for a BBQ and the Memorial Park concert and fireworks.
We all had a great time at Rob & Jen's house. Addison made some new friends with the girls that live next door...she even got a tattoo! Check out her ankle! Grammy and Olivia left before the fireworks since it was Livi's bed time, while Addison and I stayed around to listen to the music and watch the fireworks. Unfortunately we didn't last long one the fireworks started. I think a combination of being sleepy and the loud booms really scared our little girl! Lou, Addison and I took off out of the park pretty quickly. But Addison still said she had a good time, except for the fireworks..."they were scary".
Saturday -- Hmmm, today didn't start out very well, Grammy was pretty sick today! Which was really too bad because we had so many fun plans for the day. Well...maybe next time the girls come for a vacation. But I think Addison, Olivia and I had a good day! While Livi was taking her morning nap, Addison and I went outside and played and Hallie, the 5 year old from across the street, came over to play. After the girls took their afternoon nap we all went for a walk and then went swimming in the pool...which Grammy came out to sit with us for a little bit. Then it was bed time, both girls were very sleepy and early since last night was such a late night. Addison was already asleep and then people in my neighborhood started setting off fireworks. This woke Addison up and she was terrified. Finally after Grammy sitting with Addison and me turning on a CD that sounded like a stream, she did fall back to sleep and then was able to sleep through the rest of the loud booms! Tomorrow the girls go home, so I spent some time tonight packing their bags and getting everything ready to leave.
Sunday -- Well...today is the final day of the wonderful Omaha Vacation Addison and Olivia have been enjoying. I must say, we all had a great time. It was so wonderful having the girls for a visit. I can't wait until they come again! I know Grammy feels the same way. Thank goodness Grammy is feeling better today! Before Lou and I took the girls to meet mommy & daddy, we had fun playing inside and out! Addison helped Grammy water my flowers and Lou & Olivia spent some time bonding!
Our ride to York was uneventful...though we did make two potty breaks on our way out! Before we left, Kerry called Grammy to tell her that her car wouldn't start...OH NO!!!! Lou and I decided to leave as soon as we heard this so we could get to Grand Island to see what was wrong with the car. However, we only made it as far as Gretna when we received a call from Kerry saying the car was working again! So we decided to meet in York. I know Addison and Olivia were very excited to go home and see mommy and daddy again!
Thank you for visiting! We love you girls!! Love, Grammy & Bubba

Since Addison didn't like the fireworks on Friday night at Memorial Park (but she did like the concert)we decided not to try for the Neihardt fireworks on Saturday night.
Many have remarked what beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes both the girls have and how much their eyes are the first thing to be noticed on them.
Sunday morning was low key. Lou came over and played with the girls before he and Aunt Bubba drove them to reunite with mommy and daddy. Lou and the girls all seem very comfortable with one another.
It was a great week and do wish we all lived much closer and could get together much more often, ahh the memories we could make.
Maybe next time we can have Michael Leo and Madeline too.
Love,
Jenny
