Vacation...long over due

Well vacation started in Omaha, NE. We went to visit my friend Mark and some other friends.

Here is a pictures of the whole group:
LtoR: Holly and Chris, Me, Mallory and Josh, Dave and Mark















We went to the Omaha Zoo on Saturday....it was like 100 outside so it wasn't too much fun. This is the only picture I got because the batteries died and the new ones were all they way back at the car. We just got there and Mallory was already super hot.















Sunday we went to the park and then to brunch at a french cafe...it was delicious.
Mal playing in the rocks




















Mal and dad swinging. She LOVES to swing so we had a hard time getting her out.















More swinging.




















Josh found this cool contraption that is like a backhoe...he had a little to much fun on it.















On Sunday night we stayed w/ my cousin Holly in Des Monies. Monday we went to an outlet mall and met my parents in Davenport. They took Mallory and Josh and I headed to Six Flags in Chicago. We had a blast...but we don't have any pictures because we left the camera in the diaper bag. It was nice to have a few days for ourselves.

After Chicago we went to my parents house for the rest of the time.

Josh and Mallory swinging at the park close to my parents house.















Mallory LOVED Nacho (our cat that my parents are keeping until we get a house)...here she is giving him some loving.















Going for the tail














My aunt has a pool so we had a fun time enjoying that...the water turned green after the weather got really hot.















Look at the camera















My cousin Mary was in town from Florida. This is her daughter Sara. They loved each other.




















Mary, Sara, Mallory and Me















Mal pushing her stroller on the carport.















We visited my grandparents after we went to Dixon Mounds (and Indian burial site).

Mal and grandma...she is the one that had open heart surgery. She looks great and is recovering very well.















Mal loves corn...she decided she likes it better on the cob then on her plate.















Bath time w/ Oma




















Oma giving Mallory her last bottle. We decided it was time to wean her after we got back from vacation. Mallory has done great and we haven't had any problems.















So that was our vacation. It was nice to be able to relax and take our time going places. Of course it wasn't long enough...but that is what next year is for.

Toothy grin. Mallory now has 11 teeth. I can't believe how quickly they have all come in.















She loves to wear every ones shoes and walk in them. It's too funny.




















Helping in the dishwasher















Yeah...happy baby.

Sounds like a fun vacation! Look at all Mallory's hair. I'm sure Rowan will get some hair...someday!

Those pics are too precious - I love seeing your mom with her :) And yes, vacations are ALWAYS too short!
