Frese Family Vacation

This may sound a little crazy, but......my family never took a vacation while I was growing up. Growing up on a dairy makes traveling pretty much impossible. My family decided about a month ago that maybe we should take a trip. Just a short one. Not to far. Let's not make it too challenging. We decided to go to Omaha. Kids and all.



This was a rare sight during the trip. Maxton does not like his car seat and made sure that everyone knew about it. Gotta love it when they start getting a little independent. Todd and I drove seperate from the rest of the family since we wanted to stop in Lincoln to visit family. We met up with the rest of the pack at the Strategic Air & Space Museum. We spent the weekend at the Farmer's Market, various museum's, and the Henry Doorly Zoo. Needless to say, we all survived our first vacation.

Independence Farms

Today was Mallory's first session with Independence Farms this year. The weather has finally gotten warm enough for the riders and horses. Mallory has participated in therapeutic horse riding for several years now and thoroughly enjoys it. This was the first year that Hannah has taken an interest in Mallory's riding. Matthew watches for the first few minutes then finds other things to do in the barn (such as play in the dirt!). Last year's session ended inOctober, so it's been several months since Mallory has rode. She took right to her horse "Freddie" today like there never was a winter break.

Garage Sale

We had a garage sale today and boy did the kids have a blast! Matthew had a great time counting back change. He did have some difficulty parting with some beloved baby toys. Mallory was quite the sales girl. She greeted every customer and would convince them that they could not part with out an item. Todd and Hannah got out of the house while we had the garage sale. They spent the morning at the Abilene Airport for the fly in and went to look at campers.
