Lucky to be high and dry and then off to Omaha!

We have seen some crazy weather around here over the years, but nothing like what happened two weeks ago.  We are very fortunate to live in a part of town that was not impacted by the flooding, but others were not so lucky.  I took a few pictures during the flooding event, but didn't make it to many of the very dramatic destruction areas.  There are tons of photos online that are truly unbelievable. 

During the event, we headed out of town to go to Leah and Troy's wedding in Omaha.  Nothing better to take your mind off your worries, right?!  We had a great time visiting with family for the weekend.

 Goof ball!

 

 Kaylynn tried to catch the bouquet.  Thankfully she didn't get it!

 Rockin out!

 Everyone had fun with the frames they had out for picture taking!

 

 

 

It was a beautiful day to also take in the walking bridge to Iowa one afternoon.

 

 

 

God's Work. Our Hands.

The ELCA celebrated its 25th Anniversary by encouraging a day of service.  Our church combined with the other ELCA church in town, for a total of ~150 people, and took to the streets to serve our community in different ways.  Our family went out on nearly 2 miles of bike path through town and collected garbage.  It was a hot afternoon but some clouds moved off the mountains and provided us with some shade after awhile.  It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Her first business!

K decided to buy a snow cone machine with her own money today and set up a stand (with lemonade too) in front of the house with her bestie this afternoon.  They made a total of $13.  They seemed happy!
