Swarty Family: Omaha! We miss you.

We miss you Omaha! We were lucky enough to go back for a visit at the end of July. Meeting our new niece, Ella Jude was fantastic. Nora really enjoyed meeting Ella and seeing her other cousins, Megan & Carson. Nora loves her cousins. She talks about them all of the time. She wants to know when they are coming to her house to play. Hopefully all of the cousins will be able to make a trip up to MN in the near future. Of course she totally loved seeing her Nona. She always wants Nona to come to her house to play and to “drink coffee.” Seeing Papa Larry and Patty and all of the aunts and uncles was a blast too.

In addition to seeing the Swarty side of the family, we were able to see a lot of our friends while we were in town. Pete had his 20 year high school reunion that weekend. It was awesome seeing everyone and meeting new people. Pete of course was so proud to have me as his trophy wife :)

Enjoy the photos below!

The second and more tame night of the reunion weekend.

The misfits.... Class of 1989 baby!

Trying to get a photo of Nona and her grandkids was not easy...

Breakfast outside at Nona's house.

We had a get together at a friends pool the Saturday of the reunion. Apparently the 10 year did not involve kids and was quite a bit different than this time.... Imagine that...

More pics of breakfast at Nona's. You can tell Nora is "annoyed" that she is not getting ALL of Nona's attention....

The ZOO... OK, so I lived in Omaha for 6 years. I had a pass to the zoo for 3 or 4 years and never went. I finally had my first trip to the zoo with my little lady, Nora. It is a fantastic zoo.
