Fara family weekend

Valentine's Day weekend the Fara Family got together for a fun weekend at CoCo Key in Omaha.  We made our way over to the farm on Friday night and Brycen enjoyed about 12 hours of everything he could absorb before taking off for Omaha in the morning.  

We got to the hotel around 10:30am to get our wristbands for the water park.  Leigh, Skylar, Logan, Grandpa and Grandma all came very shortly afterwards.  I think the kids were all in the water shortly after 11:00.  We were unable to get our hotel rooms until 4:00 that day so the kids went without a nap. They played so hard and even played all the way up until they finally had lunch around 2:00.  Leigh and Burke spend over an hour in line to order and get food.  Uncle Eric & Katie came that afternoon and they joined the party in the pool too. It was a pretty busy place and we had a difficult time finding a table and chairs to eat at one point.  

Later in the afternoon, we had Uncle Kevin, Brandon, Shaye, and their two kids visit and swim with us as well.  It was nice to be able to see them and spend some time together.  We're all keeping Kevin in our daily prayers as he battles hard through brain cancer.  

The boys (Landon 4, Logan 4, Brycen almost 3) had so much fun together that evening running around and playing games together.  Brycen got a little rough with them wrestling and even physically ran into Logan at one point and had a large bump on his forehead that left a bruise for a week.  

Some highlights from Brycen were:

 - the slides that were just the right size for little kids Brycen's age

 - going around the lazy river (about 50 times with Grandpa - not relaxing but walking the lazy river)

 - when the yellow ball was stuck on top of the hotel room and Uncle Eric went up to get it

 - playing basketball with Uncle Eric & Katie in the "deep pool" 

 - eating lots of grapes

and a few added by me:

 - watching the three boys race, run, wrestle and play together on Saturday night

 - spending precious time with the whole gang, Fara's & McCarville's  

 - eating brunch at Perkins on Sunday - yum!

I hope we do it again!
