My official 4th weekend with the family started Saturday afternoon when my family came to pick me up. The boys then went to the science center for body worlds and the girls went shopping around east village. We mostly just looked around stores, but did buy a couple of things in raygun. When the boys were done at body worlds we started our drive to omaha.
We got to Omaha later on Saturday and sat at the campground for a bit before heading to Lincoln for fireworks. We ended up just sitting in the truck and watching them and they were super close and really good. We also got there like right before they started so we didn't have to wait to long to watch them. I tried to take a picture of the fireworks on my phone. The picture isn't the best quality, but you get the idea. It was a really good fireworks show. [I've come up with my own theory that when fireworks are legal in a state their professional shows are SOO much better than states where fireworks are illegal]
On Sunday my mom, Carina, and I went to a church that is nearby Creighton that Carina wanted to check out to see if she wants to go there in the fall. It was a good service and a nice church. Then we went shopping for a bit to find a dress for my mom for my cousin's wedding at the end of July. We found a dress and then met the family for transformers. The majority went to transformers but others did go to Cars 2 and Bridesmaids. Transformers was really good!
Then we got back to the campground, ate, and talked for most of the night.
Monday started out with me taking some random pictures of the family camping while waiting for people to get ready for crafting and swimming.
Then my cousins, aunt, Carina, and I all went to the craft place and painted some very beautiful ceramics. I painted an E, Carina painted Piglet, McKenzie painted a deer, and Haley painted a cat.
Hard at work....
The finished projects....
Then we heading to the busy pool for some hot summer swimming. It was fun-we went down the slides a few time, got attacked in the wave pool, and then also layed out for a bit during pool checks...
After we were tired of swimming we went back to the campground and showered and changed into our matching flag t's. I decided to buy these Saturday morning at Old Navy since it had been so long since the family had them. They only had women and childen's sizes left so the boys didn't get them. Isaac instead was in charge of taking a photo of the 3 of us, which turned out to be a little difficult.
Then we made him take some nice ones of Carina and me....
Then we ate, loaded up our stuff and headed home. They dropped me off in West Des Moines to meet the Nikki's for my last 4th of July firework show. Here's a couple of pics of the fireworks.
It was great to see the family and get to hang out with them even if it wasn't for very long. I hope that all of your 4th of July's were good. Now a little extra credit for you all. Please leave a comment if you know what this lovely tattoo that I made Carina is of....
