Thanksgiving in Omaha

It was such a blessing to spend Thanksgiving in Omaha with all my mom, aunts, uncles, first cousins and second cousins. Spending time with such a loving, fun, and shy and non-opinionated (yeah, right!) group of people was fun. On the second day of our trip my Aunt Pam treated me to Omaha Symphony Concert. It was their Pop's concert that included the Irish Rovers. A talented and hilarious group of men. Omaha's new concert hall? Two thumbs up!

Lit was treated to a "man's" day of shooting. What is a visit to the Midwest without a day at the shooting range? In his infinite wisdom, Lit challenged Uncle Ken to drive down a gully in his big rig. Give Uncle Ken a challenge? He took the bait, off the road they go, down the gully, over the ridge...a Dr. Suess adventure.

Forrest had a blast with his cousin, Sammy from Minnesota. They were buds when we lived in D.C. They reunited in Omaha like a day had not past since they last saw one another. Needless to say, they were inseparable for the entire rest of the trip.

We all enjoyed the trip to Boy's Town. I have been there many times as a young girl, but this trip was special because we were given a tour by a 15 year-old resident. She has lived there for 3 years and credits Boy's Town for saving here life. Way to go Father Flanagan!
