Birthday party!

Wow! What a busy week. We went as a family to the Combine Derby in Ogallala on Wednesday night as a Birthday present from Grandma Taylor. Josh and I had date night on Friday night to the concert at Ogallala (thanks for the tickets Derek!) Then on Saturday we took Nate and his friend Chris and Cliff and his friend Nathan to North Platte to the Rec Center. They went swimming, went down the water slide, jumped off the high dive, and played water basket ball. Then we checked out the game room. Ping pong didn't go so well, but they had a ball playing Foos ball. After the Rec center we had a meal at McDonald's and headed for Ogallala to the carnival. Mom and Dad were exhausted, but the kids had a great time. (I think it might be easier to have 10 nine year olds at our house for a couple of hours than to take 4 of them all day. They were really good though.) Nate & Cliff's birthday is actually tomorrow, but we are trying to focus more on memories and less on stuff, so we ran ourselves ragged making memories.
