Omaha and Halloween

We had a busy, busy October, and ended it all by going to Omaha for a quick weekend vacation. I had Friday off from school because we had parent-teacher conferences the couple days prior, so I figured it'd be a good time to go.

We headed to Fairfax on Thursday evening and stayed at my grandma's new house. Unfortunately, she was in the hospital with low blood pressure, so we only got to see her for a bit when we stopped by there on our way out of town. (She's back at home and feeling better now.)

Friday morning, we headed to Vala's Pumpkin Patch and were amazed! We didn't even do the actual pumpkin patch part and were still there for 3 hours. Bennet had a great time, and rode his first pony! He was very brave and even wanted to me to go "sit down" after a couple laps.

That evening, we stayed at Coco Keys Water Resort. Bennett is probably still a bit young to really enjoy it, but we still had fun. They had a toddler section with shallow water and a lazy river, where we spent most of our time. It wasn't quite warm enough in there for us though. Poor Bennett's lips were blue!

The next morning, we got up early and headed to the zoo. It's such an awesome zoo! Much better than Kansas City because you can really see most of the animals up close. We spent about 4 hours there and Bennett was asleep in the car before we even got out of Omaha! He slept the entire 2.5 hours home.

We also celebrated Halloween the same weekend. Bennett was a red dragon and loved it! He was really interested in his tail. We visited all our our relatives' homes and were out for about 4 hours total. He was a trooper and kept his costume on the whole time!

I can't hardly believe it's already November, but I'm glad October has come and gone. It was way to busy to keep up with!

As for the twins, we may get to find out the sexes on Thursday! I'll be 16 weeks exactly, so it may be a bit early, but there are a ton of girls I know who found out around that time. It'll just depend on whether or not the sonogram tech will try. I hope so! And I really have no guesses as to what they are. With Bennett, I just knew he was a boy. I don't have a feeling this time. I can't wait to find out so I can start really picturing what our lives are going to be like. If Brian is right, I'm still going to be the only girl in the house :)
