Autumn Activities

Wow! I can't believe it's been so long since my last blog. I'm still around. I've been working on the keeping connected front and planning to have some kind of get together or outing at least twice a month. I think of late it has been more often than that. I'll do a post later to catch up on Summer happenings (there were many), and here I'll just focus on more recent events.

Before Autumn even began I set a few plans in place of things the boys would enjoy. The list included visiting a pumpkin patch, taking a trip to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, hosting a Halloween party, hosting Thanksgiving dinner and putting up Christmas lights outside the house. I am happy to report that we have actually done the first part of the list and have the other two in our sights. I am also working on the Christmas Countdown and Cruising Through the Holidays.

Spring Break, Day Six

I have passed the halfway point of my time off. A day of recovery...that is what I need. We took a trip to Omaha yesterday, to the Henry Doorly Zoo. It was six hours of driving (round trip), six hours of walking the zoo (fun, fun) and about an hour at the IMAX show Whales and Dolphins.

Today is the first day of spring officially. The equinox. It is supposed to get up to 68 degrees today. What a way for Spring to come in. Yesterday was pretty nice too. We enjoyed a sunny day. It is supposed to be cloudy in Omaha today, and was cloudy here until after midnight.
