Lazerson's visit to Nebraska

The Miller's are finally settled in Nebraska and The Lazerson's, our friends from Virginia, came to visit us. We met them in Denver at an amusement park called Elitch Garden's. It was a 3 hour drive to Denver. The kids did pretty good with the drive since they had something to look forward to. Please forgive my picture taking since I am not Emily and I rarely get a good shot. I did my best though. Most of them are not blurry.

This is Skylar throwing a ball at someone. Probably her dad.

We went into this room filled with ways to shoot balls at people and there were balls flying everywhere. Christian enjoyed it more than the kids did. You can't see Ryan, but Christian was helping him shoot balls at me.

The train ride was definately Christian's favorite.

This was my best attempt at getting a picture with all 5 kids in it. Camden kept running away (look at the right side of the picture). They don't look very happy that their parents took them to an amusement park. No one could put a smile on their face.

When we got back to Nebraska we decided to show the Lazerson family the town. That didn't take very long so we needed to find something fun to do. Luckily, Scottsbluff and Gering have many wonderful and exciting things to do. Christian and Brent went golfing both days leaving the moms to entertain the children. It is better that way anyway so we only have to listen to 5 whining, complaining, ungrateful children and not 5 whining children and their 2 whining dads.

We spent the first day at the water park.

Camden had fun swimming/crawling around. He kept saying "water pool, water pool".

He loved it!!!!

Ryan enjoyed the fact that he could walk around and touch the bottom by himself.

Skylar loved the tube slide.

She also liked this rope climbing thing.

Ryan on the kiddie slide.

I actually got a picture with all 5 of them. Go me!!!

Here's Ryan with his favorite part of the pool. He got to shoot water at people out of a cannon.

Very cool.

The next day we went to the zoo. It left much to be desired. It was about 101 degrees outside and there were hardly any animals.

My favorite part was the zebras butt.

Look another picture with all 5.

Well, that was my first attempt at blogging with pictures. That took a lot longer than I thought.

The lion says Good Night!!
