10 days into Summer

I am ten days into my summer break and it has already been busy and very enjoyable! One of the best things so far is that we bought a new camera. I LOVE it! We decided that with a baby on the way, it was now or never to get one. We bought a Nikon D5000. I'm slowly learning all the functions and hope to get more skilled in the aperture and shutter speed. It has been quite fun taking amazing pictures!

What have we been doing during the first 10 days of summer? We have been...

Cheering on Bryan as he raced his bike in Lincoln. Jack rode in his own bike race and was super excited that he "won" a ribbon! (This is the only picture in this bunch not taken with the new camera, by the way).

Doing a little gardening.

Enjoying the nice weather and doing science experiments.

Riding bikes & enjoying nature.

Enjoying the warm weather at the splash park.

Drinking lots & lots of water at the splash park!

Just having fun!

Digging for fossils at the Children's Museum.

Making electronic robots move.

Working up the courage to see the animated T-Rex.

Playing with pulleys (also at the Children's Museum).

Having a blast at the play area at Werner Park (home of the Omaha Stormchasers - AAA team of the KC Royals).

Enjoying a Stormchasers baseball game with Daddy, while Mommy went to see "Wicked," the musical. (I went with my mom and sister and it was amazing!)

You're off to a great start this summer! Congrats on the new camera - I'm so glad we made the same investment before the babies. And I am SO jealous you got to see Wicked. I re-read it a couple months ago; never gets old!
