Powell Gardens and the Lego Sculptures

 

After several attempts this summer, we finally made it to Powell Gardens to see the Lego sculptures with the Morris family.  It was well worth the wait.  We had beautiful weather and the sculptures were amazing!  We ended the day cooling off in the fountain.

Marco Island 2013

Last week, we returned to Marco Island for another 8 days in paradise.  This trip, we stayed in a condo at the other end of the Tigertail Beach.  We had amazing balcony views, spectacular sunsets, epic sand castles, fun shelling expeditions and tons of fun swimming in the pool and ocean.  On our last day, we drove up to Sanibel Island and checked out the beach before heading to the airport.

Summer in Omaha

Over the 4th of July weekend, we made our annual (and maybe last) trip to Omaha.  As always, Grandma took us to the zoo.  The kids loved feeding the budgies, watching the sharks and riding the train.  We have some great memories with Grandma at the zoo!

Fourth of July

This year was the 30th Annual Colony West 4th of July party.  The kids participated again in the parade and game.  Sammy and I were the wheel barrow race champions!
