Stay-cation 2012

Well, I had my first week of vacation since before I went to work on the bank.  It was wonderful, even though we didn't really do much.  It was nice to just be home with the kids and Dan.  Here's all the blog worthy pics from the week. 
 The start of our stay-cation.  Love these boys!
 We went to the Omaha Zoo one morning and it was so much fun.  The kids loved it and were really well behaved, which makes everything better!  This pic and the one below are of us in the aquarium.  It was so cool, but very crowded.
 Both kids were too mesmerized by the overhead fishes and sharks to even look at the camera.
 Mya saw a couple of kids taking pics on the Rhino so she wanted one too.  Kind of a funny place to take a picture, but it turned out pretty cute.
 The zoo has this amazing butterfly exhibit and all four of us were impressed.  I just had to get a picture of Reggie on this butterfly chair.
 And one of my faves: the giraffes.  The kids, especially Reggie, loved the giraffes.  He stood there forever just looking at them.
 This is what Reggie looked like about a minute after we left the zoo.  I guess it wore him out.
 The Friday of my vacation week, Dan, his dad, his brother, and his friend Cody were all playing in a golf tournament so we got to go spend some time in Topeka.  The kids got to play with their cousins and Dan had a good time golfing.
 Reggie was the life of the party at one time because all the kids loved that he would hug on command. He's a hugger, just like Mya was at that age.  Gotta love it. And I just love this picture of Camdyn, such a beautiful girl.
 Debi and I ate dinner with all the kids at Grandma Lorene's.  Can you believe we got this picture in one take?  That's unheard of with four kids!
 So the next night, Saturday, we had a wedding to go to.  Here's a pic of Mya in her element: dancing on a stage.  This girl loves a stage!
 Reggie was loving the dancing too.  He would run back and forth from us to the dance floor and he was looking pretty cute.
 I even captured this sweet picture of Mya and Aunt Sissy.  She loves these kiddos.  She's such a good aunt.
And this last one if of Dan and his kids on Father's Day.  Oddly, this is the best picture we got of him and his babies, but it's sort of appropriate.  He's the kind of Dad that just loves to get down and play with his kids.  I'm blessed to have an amazing man I call my best friend and husband and he just happens to be the best Dad to our beautiful kids.  They adore him and so do I.  Happy Father's Day, babe!  And happy late father's day to all the other amazing dads out there!  Now, back to work for me!  Wish me luck!
