Goofin (because what else are you supposed to do when it rains in Omaha) In The City

Spencer doing his thing...I guess?

Elijah jumping for joy...he made it down, he really made it down.

So all week, and I mean ALL week, we have had the most beautiful weather here in Omaha. The temperatures have been more on the hot and humid side however the kids have enjoyed themselves immensely after school. They have had a lot of fun playing in the water, zooming around on their scooters till 8:30 pm...ya bedtime is a whole other story sure to be told at another blogging date, and holding their breath for Saturday. Yes, Saturdays! Saturdays for a kid is like getting behind the wheel of a brand new sports car for the first time when you are an adult...you are unchained from school, from homework and from bedtime.

However, when you live in the mid-west, Saturdays during the Spring inevitably mean...RAIN! Why oh WHY does it rain every Saturday? I guess it is a question only to be answered with a big shrug of the shoulders and a mumbled i-dun-no. So we here in the Potter household said "@$#% You rain (no I don't mean the really bad word just a word I don't feel comfortable letting my Mom read) and headed to the Slide Park in downtown Omaha. It was quite nice as no one else was there but again, just like the rain, other people were inevitable and when they came, we left. Which was good timing because when the people came, even harder rains fell.
