The Best Intentions...

I had my mid-spring break post, updating everyone on our St. Patty's happenings and had the best intentions of posting pictures from our Nebraska trip upon our return.  Two weeks later...at least my intentions were good, right?!?

Our trip to Fremont/Council Bluffs/Omaha was absolutely perfect.  It gave us the opportunity to spend time catching up with extended family, provided some great entertainment, and gave us a chance to escape home briefly and relax a bit.

We started our time away on Thursday with a day and night in Fremont with Betty and Vic, Vinnie's Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.  Vinnie spent time bouncing around the house, running away from Great Grandpa and hiding eggs from Great Grandma.  Vinnie showed off his impressive eating skills and was his usual charming self!  Just before leaving Fremont, we were fortunate to spend a little time with Bob and Brenda as well! 

From Fremont we ventured to our hotel in Council Bluffs for a nap before an exciting evening at "Disney On Ice."  Being that Vinnie is not too familiar with Disney Characters, we weren't sure how excited he would get over this show...but he LOVED it!  (And cried as the show ended!)

The next day we ventured to the Omaha Zoo, which was loved by the whole family!  What an incredible zoo!  Due to some chilly weather, we stuck to only indoor exhibits.  We look forward to returning sometime in the summer when we can enjoy the outdoor exhibits too!

Saturday night we met up with more extended family for Pizza in Omaha.  We enjoyed the conversation and the chance to catch up with everyone and Vinnie enjoyed chasing Miss Ava everywhere!

Sunday we headed for home, and dove right back into real life with laundry, and work the next day!

Overall it was a great trip with great family memories!!!
