Tom has been putting in many, many hours at work. I had asked him to take a few days off during the week so we could take the kids on a mini vacation. We decided to make the short drive (just under three hours) to Omaha to visit the zoo and their children's museum.
Neither place disappointed us.
The zoo was wonderful. It was a chilly morning, but the sun came out in the afternoon.
Savannah was enamored with every animal.
I love the gorillas! I actually got teary eyed because this mom was holding her baby and it was just the sweetest thing.
This peacock was just roaming around the zoo. It got a little too close for Savannah's liking.
I promise we had Madison along, she just stayed in the stroller most of the morning.
There she is!
Madison got to check out the big aquariums.
Savannah was excited to stay in the hotel and swim.
She loved the pool.
Girls girls girls
Savannah was so excited to sleep in the "big bed". After we said our prayers, Savannah said, "Thank you for taking me to the big hotel bed." Such a sweetie!
Insisted on her winter hat for breakfast
Then we went to the Omaha Children's Museum. Savannah and Tom got to use power tools, hammers, nails, and other scraps to create something.
I think Savannah said this was a bird feeder haha. It was fun to make!
Nap time looked a little different for those two days.
The kids were really good! It was so fun to hear all the "thank yous" from Savannah. She was so grateful for everything we did. So sweet!
Look at the animal she chose to ride. Girl after her father's heart.
We had a birthday dinner at my parents house for Katie. Savannah insisted on her "party dress" and then accessorized all on her own. (Do you see the cow rain boots? haha)
She also made sure Madison wore her pink tutu.
Only our finest outfits for Katie's birthday.
Hanging out with her buddy.

Picking flowers
Take your daughter to work day.
Tom got to work on this particular day and found out that there were other kids there. He called me at 10 and said I could bring the kids up if it worked out. Luckily, Madison had just woke up so we hustled to get everyone ready and out the door.
Savannah loved going to the office. Now we play "office" at home.
Savannah likes to put her ball in her shirt.
4 months old!
Baby Buddies! Can't wait to watch Madison and Cate become buddies.
My dad has been loving making bacon on the grill. The backyard is his is happy place!
Grandma's are the best!
Isn't their backyard beautiful!
We visited mom at her school. They had a spring flower sale.
Savannah got to pick out some flowers for our house.
This chick is all about the accessories!
