Trip to Omaha

We took a trip to Omaha last weekend to trade cars with my Mom. She had ours and we had hers. Here are a few pictures to detail our trip.

We decided to buy Samuel his first happy meal on the way down to Omaha. He was crabby, crying, and all around not having a good time in his car seat. The picture below looks like he loved the happy meal, but in reality he just loved the toy and Aaron finished off the last of his chicken nuggets. Oh well!

Samuel developed an ear infection with a fever (the reason he didn't want his chicken nuggets...) and we took him to urgent care. An interesting experience to say the least. The clinic was really an orthopedic clinic and an urgent care on the side. When we walked in the lady behind the desk was helpful and we filled out our forms. We sat down to wait to be called back. Weird-- the lady behind the desk put on her white lab coat and called us back. She was the doctor as well. (-: We were the only patients and she had to turn on all of the lights back in the examination rooms. She checked Samuel's ears in the midst of plastic bones laying all over the counter tops. The blood pressure cuff was too large for Samuel, so we skipped that. Anyway, Aaron and I were 99% sure he had an ear infection and when she prescribed the correct drug for the correct amount of days, I breathed a sigh of relief. She may have been strange, but she got the diagnosis correct... I hoped. His fever went down and he was his happy little self not long after the first dose, so she had made the correct diagnosis-- even if she was an orthopedic surgeon!

The next pictures are at the beach. Samuel loved the sand and loved the water. Notice the very cute aunts suntanning in the background (I know they'll hate me for pointing that out--love you guys!)


Samuel had a great time with his Grandma Head. Mom helped Samuel open the cooler and he had a grand time throwing in a drinking straw, closing the cap, asking for help to get it open, throwing it in again, and then repeating the process. If we were in the hotel room and his Grandma was near, he wanted to play the game again, but just with Grandma, because she was the best at opening the lid.
We left on Sunday morning and I ran back up to change into shorts, leaving Samuel's two aunts in charge of both Samuel and the camera.... "poor" guy! (-: He loved every minute with them though!
