We spent last week in Omaha (or thereabouts). We went to a KOA in Gretna, which was excellent. We tent-camped the first night, and then spent five nights in a Cabin. We were visited on Tuesday afternoon by Jen Courtney and her two daughters, and then went to their house for dinner that evening. We learned a new game called ‘Loser’, which was a hoot. On Thursday, Amanda’s parents came down from North Platte, and we spent the rest of the weekend in a motel with them. On Saturday we visited the Henry Doorly Zoo, which was phenomenal.

We arrived at around 9:00 A.M. and didn’t leave until after 6:00 P.M. Even still, we had to skip a whole section of the zoo because we were too wore out by then. On Sunday, we visited the Lauritzen Botanical Gardens, which were gorgeous.

We returned north on Sunday afternoon.

We’ve been pretty busy lately with drama-related stuff. I was asked to run lights (again) for a play that the Historical Society is presenting. In the process, Amanda & I both were roped into playing small parts, and I’m now doing sound for it as well. It’s a fun little one-act about some mannequins who attempt to thwart a robbery in the clothing store where they ‘work’.

We had tryouts for the High School play last week, and started practice on Monday. We did a read-through then, and had another practice on Thursday. This semester we’re doing a full-length play about a bunch of pirates and a group of people stranded on ‘their’ island. It’s going to be quite interesting as we only had girls tryout, so all the male parts (pirates & natives) will be played by females. That always makes me laugh, so I’m sure it will work out quite well.
