Omaha Sand in the City 2011

We took the kids to see the awesome sand sculptures at Sand in the City in June. We met up with our friends Christie & Mike and their kids Jayger & Mikena. The kids played games for a little while before we looked at the sculptures. Our friends had already been there for a long time that day, so we parted ways and went to look at the sculptures.

Clair did not want to stand still, and we were afraid she would run under the ropes!! This sculpture was of Lightening McQueen & Mater.

This was one of the kid's favorite ones!

Finally a good picture of all 3 kids together at the same time! :) This was Samantha's favorite - Horton Hears A Who!

Sand In The City

We went to Sand In The City in downtown Omaha by Quest Center on Sunday, June 6th. This year was not quite as fun as last year. It was in a different location because of the new baseball stadium and that meant more walking for the kids. The kids still really liked looking at all the neat sand castles that the businesses as made. Samantha's favorite was the one with the Baby from Toy Story 3. Alden's favorite was the one with the piggy bank "Ham" from Toy Story 3. (Can you tell they are very excited about the release of Toy Story 3!! We all are!!) We let the kids vote for their favorite. You have to buy sand dollars and they get to vote by placing the sand dollars in the tub for your favorite sand castle. We also took a picture of the HDR - Omaha Public Library's sculpture, so that Uncle Greg could see what his company did. Clair liked it all - she just enjoyed being out of her car seat!
