This is what the back of our van looks like
when it's packed for a three day weekend
with all of the clothes and food
for two adults and five children.
(Brit didn't go)
.
This is what the inside of our van looked like.
It was actually pretty quiet for most of the trip.
.
Who's the stud driving to Omaha?
.
We couldn't check into the hotel until 3pm
so we took the kids to the bridge and let them run around and roll down the hills.
.
Checking out the river

Grandpa & the boys

Grandma & the girls

Steve made me take this picture!
If you haven't noticed, there aren't many pictures with me in them.

One of the best reunion stories ever!
My mom got down in between the wall and the bed in one of the hotel rooms
to talk to one of the kids who was on the bed.
Aftera few minutes, she laughed and said, "You might have to help me up."
We laughed and then she said, "No. Really. You have to help me up. I'm stuck."
My uncle moved over to help her but I held him off just long enought to take a picture.
Right before I clicked the button, she put her hands together like she was praying so that everyone who saw the picture would think she was religious instead of stuck!

Worn out.

This train simulator was at the Train Museum.
The kids loved it!

More at the Train Museum

Trying out seats.

This is how I found Riley when I came outside.
I guess he's learning to meditate!

Aubrey, Heather & Coby.

The men took all the kids to a park
and the women went on a tour of the Historic Dodge House.
.
Afterwards, we all met for lunch.

.
Our fun day exhausted at least one member of our family!
.
In the evenings, we head back to the hotel and have a smorgasboard of food that we've brought to share. The food's usually better than a restaraunt and cheaper too!
After we've eaten, the adults chat or play games
and the kids go swimming and find ways to amuse themselves.
.
.
On Sunday, we all attend church together and then eat lunch at Quaker Steaks & Lube.
The food is great and they have cars and motorcycles hanging from the ceiling!
.
.
All Coby wanted was onion rings.
.
Great weekend with great family!
Can't wait till next year :)
