Thursday, we went to Lauritzen Gardens (which is like the Atlanta Botanical Gardens) to check it out. It was really, really nice, but hot, hot, hot!! The gardens property is about 120 acres, so we thought we would be able to walk some of it. Well, we walked around for about 20 minutes and we all got really hot. We decided the best way to see a majority of the gardens was to take the tram and I think Parker was really glad we decided to do that - hah!
Parker is focused!
Waiting for the tram!
Parker loved the tram ride!
We stopped at the little train area - it was so cute! They had model trains running on tracks all throughout this area and everything for the model trains was made out of material found at the garden. It was really cool!
Then, we got to ride up the big hill to see the huge trains. These are actual train cars that were hauled up the big hill that welcomes you to the Nebraska state line into Omaha. It is simply amazing how they got these huge train cars up this big hill.
I took this pic to show how high up we were and to think folks actually got 2 huge train cars up this huge hill - amazing!
Thursday night, we all decided to go bowling. Parker seems to be a pro now, so I think he was ready to show for Grandma and Grandpa Kleeman!
Waiting patiently for the ball to be returned!
Getting some help from Dad
Focused and ready!
Hannah and Grandma Kleeman cheered and danced for Parker!
Parker did so good - he bowled a 104!!! We were all so proud of him! The first time he bowled was a 54, then the 2nd time was a 76 and now the 3rd time is a 104! I wasn't able to get a picture of the line score because we were bowling for an hour and as soon as the game was over, the screen restarted, but Parker had about 6 or 7 spare frames! It was unbelievable!
Our little bowler!
To celebrate, we stopped in the arcade and played a few games. Even Hannah joined in the fun - hah! It was a fun family night and we all had a great time!
