If the words "Omaha Nebraska" don't equal "fun" in your mind, then you are pretty much on the same page as I was. Add to that list "College World Series," and "fun for the whole family" is completely out of the picture. But my hat goes off to Omaha because guess what...it's pretty fun! Spencer and Nikki hosted our Anderson Family Reunion this year and apart from the 10 hour drive, we had a great time. When this group gets together, there is rarely ever any sitting around and yawning, we like to GO GO GO, so here is the condensed version of our trip...
Winter Quarters Temple -
This was a first for me and it was pretty neat. Beside the temple, there is a cemetery-like area that has over 400 graves of those pioneers who died there when crossing the plains. We also toured the visitors center across the street.

The Omaha Zoo
Even in the rain, this zoo was really great. Most of the exhibits are indoors, so it was perfect!

Then the boys played a little more ball.
I don't think the guys got in quite as much baseball as they would've liked, but we had tons of family time and it turned out to be really fun. I'm glad my kids will have these fun memories with family to look back on someday.
