July 4th in Omaha

We sat on our deck eating apple pie and ice cream while looking out at the horizon [north to south] watching fabulous fireworks displays from all the different subdivisions. Some were professionally done and others were families and kids shooting them off. Couldn't have seen a better show and been more comfortable!

This was the finale and it was awesome.

Olympic Swim Trials

The Summer Olympic Swim trials were here in Omaha at our Quest Center. I was able to attend with my neighbor during 1 session. It was very exciting! We met Katie Hoff's mother [sitting in our box -- she snuck in] and saw Micheal Phelps swim [the 2 top finalist].

The men's session. Michael Phelps was in the 4th row....he won! I found myself so engulfed with the excitement, I was yelling with the best of them : } Fun!
