“have you ever had weeks that feel like days and days that feel like weeks?” – forest sun

today was packed.

up and out fairly early considering. ang and cole hit the omaha zoo while neely and i headed over to carter park for the morning (the place has a skate park, dirt bike jumps, water ski jump and other park like stuff.. amazing).
soon there after we packed up and headed off to my second ticket in as many days. this one was for not wearing a seat belt (don’t get me started… ) and this cop, like the one who gave me a speeding ticket when the speed limit dropped by 20 mph in the space of 1/4 mile, could do nothing but smile and chuckle. thanks boys!

we found a little gem of a tex-mex place in iowa (los agaves) thanks to urbanspoon with good food, 3 dollar margaritas and a water fountain for cole to occupy himself with… score.

it would have been a flawless meal had cole not thrown up at the table. AGAIN. at least it wasn’t as bad as the incident in TGI Fridays last night. the kid just does not like to chew his food… any suggestions with this one? *fingers tapping*

ok, ok… we weren’t really off to just get the ticket, i was just lucky enough to get a ticket on the way to chicago. and yes… many more pics to follow.
