Good Bye Omaha

This is our last lunch in Omaha on a beautiful June afternoon. It wasn't even too hot!

James did an amazing job fitting all of our stuff into 10 feet of this truck. The Elders Quarum was so helpful in loading it all up.

Sky Lakes paid for our move, and we were so thankful that we could use ABF, so we didn't have to worry about driving a big truck.

After we waved good-bye to all of our stuff in the truck, we went to the Botanical Gardens one last time. It was nice and relaxing knowing we had already checked out of our townehouse and all we needed to do was hop in our car and be off to Oregon!

Our first stop to Oregon was Ames, Iowa. Oops! A little out of the way. :) We met up with Aaron and Jenny, and Jason and Rachel. It was HOT, and we sure enjoyed going swimming.

This is Andrew buying a REAL LIVE train ticket! Earlier that month, he had sold bird seed at the Village Green Yard Sale and earned enough money for a "Scenic Ride on the Boone Railroad." Hmm... it ended up not being too scenic, VERY hot, and VERY slow, but we made a memory, and I think we're glad we did it.

These pictures were taken in the minivan on the way to the Grouts trying to keep Andrew and Spencer awake. It worked. Good job James.

Our next stop was Park City, UT, where I got to play in a lacrosse tournament with my sister Emily! What a treat! It was pretty humbling putting a stick back in my hand and playing with her, since she is leaps and bounds ahead of me, but it was so fun to play with her and all of her BYU cougar teammates. Next, we stayed in Utah Valley for a few days, and then headed to Klamath Falls, OR, our new home! A highlight of our drive was stopping in Winnemucca, NV and bowling.
