Homeless No More

Today my parents signed the papers on our new house.
We still have to call the movers and we don't know how soon we can get moved in but everyone is a little relieved and excited.

Independence Day Weekend

In Ohio, where we're from, fireworks are illegal. So we've never really done any. Our only firework experiences were various city displays. But in Nebraska, fireworks are very legal, haha. There were vendors on every corner and then some so we stopped after dinner one day and got a few things. I got my own little variety kit, and for a first timer it didn't disappoint, haha. It actually had a lot of stuff in it and it was pretty fun.

Saturday we went to see some people my parents know from the internet and we hung out with them and they did a lot of fireworks there too.
Sunday we went to a parade in the city of Ralston. They take their parades very seriously, haha. There were a ton of people there and vendors and the parade itself was enormous. It took two hours for the whole parade. Needless to say we all have beautiful sunburns.

That evening we went to the church we've been attending and they had some food and we hung out for a while. We all did the rest of our fireworks and waited for the city's fireworks to start.
Then we had a much needed sleep-in the next day, haha.

Week in Review

I'm a little rusty on my blogging skills I guess :P
Earlier this week we went down town and walked across the bridge over the Missouri River that goes to Iowa.

Afterwards, we walked around Old Market a little bit which is a quaint little part of down town where they have a variety of cool shops and places to eat.

We went to a play date with a family my mom met from a Down Syndrome group and everybody had fun getting out of the hotel and seeing other people. The family was really nice and even though it was a hundred degrees outside, it was worth it, haha.
Today we found a movie theater and went to see Cars 2. The theater was really nice and the movie wasn't bad either ;]
