Weekend Recap

Friday:
Year 2 of "Eat the Street" - Franklin's food truck festival.
This was last year when it was held at The Factory. P was about 2 weeks old.
This year the festival was moved to Main Street. Here's P.
What a difference a year makes! We grabbed some really good food from Smoke Et Al, sat on some stairs and watched P climb them over and over. He was not a happy camper when it started raining and we had to pull him away from his new fun activity. Although not pictured (not for lack of trying though), Darcy was there too this year.

Saturday:
P's first wedding. If you follow me on Instagram then you already know this, but when the son walked the mom down the aisle I definitely teared up. One day, that will be me and my baby. :)
Post wedding photo shoot (or attempt) and playtime in the backyard.
 
This may be one of my all time favorite pictures.
Sunday:
Sunday was my second (whatt??!!) Mother's Day! Keith (and Parker and Darcy) made me breakfast, we went to church (most touching service ever to hear the story of a disabled boy and the man who randomly encountered him one day and the progression of their relationship. Second time I cried in church this weeked.), and we had Keith's family over for lunch. After Parker's nap that afternoon Keith, Parker, Darcy and I went on a long walk and then played in the backyard. Parker LOVES being outside. He has literally thrown tantrums before when we've had to come in. He walks all over, swings, and plays with Darcy. He just learned to throw the ball for her and it is the cutest. I sure do love my two kiddos. :)
Breakfast. Darcy has gained some weight recently. Not sure how ;)
A flower from each of my loves and a "plant" I can't kill.
The best one we could get of all 3 of us.
Thanks Keith for taking these even if they were a little overexposed (hence B&W) :)

 

Typical (cute!) face

Darcy showing those pearly whites :)

Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting

We just took a little family trip to... Omaha, Nebraska. Keith has wanted to go to the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting for years and we decided that this year was the one. The bulk of the trip was filled with conference related activities, but we did squeeze in a trip to the zoo/aquarium.
 
So here's our trip in photos (mix of iPhone and Canon Rebel):
Darcy wanted to go!
On our way! P loved looking out the window. He is such a good little traveler.
Dinner at Piccolo's- one of Warren Buffett's favorites.
P approved of the pasta.
Future shareholder at the meeting.
Blurry but real life. After we finally found Daddy (dead cell phone battery = not cool) and he was freed from his stroller this kiddo could not be caught.
Cuatro de Mayo
Love his expressions!
Puffy Tacos!
Old Market Omaha. It was freezing and we were over it.
Bedtime antics
Century Link Center- meeting and 5K location
Pre our first 5K (for P and me). 39 degrees and drizzly.
Fueling up before the race.
Finish line!
The Oracle of Omaha (did I get that right, Keith??) at the awards ceremony
P's 5K medal! Made a good teether apparently.
Shareholders party at the jewelry store ;)
Lunch at a hole in the wall bbq joint. So good!
(p.s. how does P look SO old here?!)
Warren Buffett's house.
Zoo time! Look who's not impressed. Typical.
How cute is he! Seriously!
My little monkey checking out the monkeys.
We loved that parts of the zoo were inside. P loved the opportunity to walk around and check things out on his own. He threw a major fit when it was time to get strapped back in his stroller. Luckily, I had some watermelon, his favorite, handy and he was quickly pacified.
The animals at this zoo were so active for the most part so they were fun to watch. Especially the monkeys and cats.
We found Darcy! Ha!
P's favorite was the aquarium.
We watched the jelly fish forever. Love these pictures and how fascinated P looks.
And this is what a 6:15am Monday flight looks like.
Obviously, this was a trip for Keith and P and I just tagged along. We were happy to help him check something off of his bucket list, but personally I'm looking forward to our beach vacation which will be here so soon! Hilton Head, here we come!
