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.  

Fontanelle Forest in Bellevue

 Fontanelle Forest is an are with interesting history.  It is where Lucien Fontanelle had his trading post and he raised his children.  Now it is a wildlife habitat area.  There is a nice playground for the little ones, and an aviary for birds of prey who have needed rescuing.

Dell Osso 2016

We had the family together for Columbus Day and went to the Dell Osso Farms maze and other activities.  We had fun, Tony, Miranda and Jeremy all went off the rope jump, but it was too dark to get pictures.  Tony and Jeremy ran inside the pumpkin balls, we all took the  train.  We had Subway picnic lunch, and went through the maze.  We also did the scarecrow tractor ride which was fun.  You got to pick your favorite.
The pricing was different this year, with one price for everything.

 Always a favorite, climbing tires.

 Sheri took Camberly on the small roller coaster.  Skylar wanted to go, but in the end declined.  Camberly did go, but screamed and cried until the ride was done.
