Thursday showers brought a trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house! The kids had a great time exploring the stone basement for hidden treasures and clues. After lunch, Gretchen and I took Carson and Christian home for naps while Cubby, Grandma and Grandpa played with the three older kids all afternoon! They went for a walk in the rain and had a great time spending time with each other.
On Friday, we packed up and left Syracuse and headed toward Buffalo again. On the way, we stopped in Rochester at the Strong Museum (a really big children's museum). It broke up the trip nicely and everyone had a fun time "on Sesame Street", riding the train, and going on another carousel!
Friday afternoon and evening found us back at Sara and Kirk's house where the kids played with bubbles, sidewalk chalk and various outdoor toys while we BBQ'd and ate some delicious food! That evening, we debated going to the fireworks show, but in the end, reason won over and we put our extremely tired children to bed (since we were leaving the next morning) and Cubby and I had a relaxing evening collapsed on the couch while everyone else went out! Yes, we're such party-poopers, but Emily HATES fireworks and Christian was just exhausted. Maybe we'll brave them next year!
As you can tell from the picture, the trip home was one of sleeping. Emily even fell asleep the last 15 min of the last flight! We were so tired and it was great to be home....even though now we're totally missing all of the family fun timers! We hope all of our family in New York will consider making the trip to Omaha sometime soon! Thank you to Gretchen and Chris, Sara and Kirk, Grandma and Grandpa, and of course, all of the cousins, for showing us such a fun time!! We love you guys!
