CWS Omaha

Late last week we packed up and headed west, to Omaha for our annual trip to visit my aunt and uncle.  This year we had a plan.....taking in the College World Series!  We arrived in town on Thursday evening and the kids (and dog) did really well with the ride out there.  It was time for some grilling and some fun!  The neighbors had a trampoline so the kids had a blast with jumping around in it!

On Friday we headed down to TD Ameritrade Park for some family fun.  We got a chance to watch some teams with batting practice, while the kids got to do some hitting of their own and make posters for the games.  After that, we were starving, so it was off to Spaghetti Works for lunch.  YUM!

Friday afternoon we lounged in the pool and had a great time.  That night we grilled some supper and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Saturday was game day!  Terry, Randy and Nolan headed to the park for some tailgating prior to the game while Derek and us girls explored the new outlet mall Nebraska Crossing.  I would have to recommend this outlet as it was fantastic!  We got most of our school shopping done already.  With such great deals on shoes and backpacks we couldn't go wrong!

We spent the rest of the day going to the pool again, playing on the playground and just enjoying the weather and visiting.  We packed up on Sunday morning to head home. It's amazing how those days go by so fast!  We had another great visit and are already planning for next year!  It's always great to spend time with family!
