- John was reunited with a friend named Jeff who he hadn't seen since he was 8 years old (they were old Star Wars buddies before they moved in Omaha). He became a Catholic Priest this weekend and we attended his dinner/reception with my in-laws
- A tornado passed over our heads at about 2 am and we were awakened by sirens and loud blowing - thankfully we only had tree limbs down where we stayed
- We discovered an awesome little park around the corner from John's great-grandmas house with a kids fishing lake and a neat trail...we found a letterbox there too!
- Caleb really bonded with his Great-grandma this trip and it was really neat to see them together
- We had the best weather at the zoo this year - around 65 and never once said we were hot (not even in the desert dome)! The kids had a blast and we took way too many pictures (a slide show to come)
- "Watch out Caleb, that bird will pee on you that is why he is called a Peacock!" - words of wisdom from Joshua running after Caleb who was chasing after the birds

We stay on 90th Street between Center and Pacific. The park we found is right off Center and 90th (about a block after the 90th turn) There is a little road you turn on off Center that goes down by a baseball field and you will park by the pond/lake. It was really nice! We have family all over Omaha (cousins, aunts,) and some work right by the Walmart that got damage, live in Millard, and one lived by a house that was damaged near 120th...it was crazy!
