Last day of vacation

We returned on Monday night from an 8 day visit to Council Bluffs, IA and Omaha, NE. Jacob will be checking in to his new command, the USS Truman, on Sunday so this was the perfect time for a family vacation. Samuel did well flying there and back, and Jacob and I managed to keep most of our sanity.  ;) The best part of the visit was Samuel meeting his paternal Grandmother (Lori), Great-Grandmother (Joyce), and Great-Great Grandmother (Irene).

Here are the pictures...

Samuel wasn't too interested in the reptiles

Couldn't resist...And then my camera died.  :( Honestly, I was ready to go home. Yes, it was THAT serious!!
