Vacation Adventures

July 2nd we headed off for vacation. We spent Saturday July 3rd in Omaha. We visited the Omaha Zoo and the Amazing Pizza Machine. Two of our family favorite spots. Of course one the best parts of the Omaha zoo is the penguins and we all love penguins!!!



This summer Drew and I are reading Flat Stanley. So of course Stanley had to come on vacation with us. Here is Stanley visiting the fish in the aquarium.





We spent most of the day visiting animals and checking out the new Madagascar exhibit at the zoo. The we went to the Amazing Pizza Machine for some good food and fun. It was a busy and exhausting day. A great way to start vacation.

Sunday morning we got up and headed North. Poor Ryan got completely soaked loading up the van to head out. We stopped and had a great brunch with family in Storm Lake. Then we headed north to our vacation destination Okoboji Lake Iowa. We stayed at this great family resort; Fillenwarth Beach. It was wonderful! They have 2 pools (one indoor, one outdoor - both heated), paddle boats, canoes, family and adult cruises, history of the lake boat rides, arts and crafts for the whole family every morning, shuffle board, ping pong and much more. We spent our week, riding boat rides, water skiing, playing ping pong and shuffle board.


Oh and swimming! There was lots and lots of swimming. I think there might be a possibility my kids are part fish.
