Weekend of Activities: February 6-8

Our weekend started with going to the kid's school to watch Hayley cheer lead.  Then to Charity's for dinner, salmon and rice.  For movie night we watched Father of the Bride with Steve Martin.

Saturday  I headed west to Buena Vista High School to get a picture of the tree of life mural and across the street is the Cold Springs informational bulletin.  I also visited South Omaha Library.

That afternoon we visited Fontenelle forest and did the boardwalk hike. This hike gives a good view of the Missouri River and even tall buildings in Omaha.  You can see the top of the bridge by Charity's house.  

Kids enjoyed the playground.

That evening we went to downtown Omaha to the Slow Down Bar for Charity's concert performance with Sing Omaha.  She is in the women's choir.  The master chorale also sang.  They sang pop songs, each group sang six and then one together.  I enjoyed "Listen to the Music" "Man Eater" and "Summer Breeze."  It is very crowded downtown, and especially in the bar.  Parking was also very hard.  We also visited the Cone Flower and I ate butter brickle ice cream.  It is as good as advertised.  

Sunday I lead the music in church for the first time with this new calling.  We went to dinner with the Anders and I learned of some new places to visit in Papillion.

Tree Pluribus Unum! Buena Vista High School Mural

 This mural inside the cafeteria at Buena Vista High School is a representation of the tree of life.  This is a picture of the tree of life in South Omaha on 24th Street.  It also has scenes from many of the other murals as well as the ornaments on the original tree of life.

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: Timber Creek Park, Omaha

 Timber Creek Park is close to the Millard Airport.  It seems to follow a draw up the hill between the houses.  It has tennis, a walking bridge, a picnic shelter and a playground.  There is grassy area for play.
