The Oregon Gang in the Midwest!!

Our dear friends from Oregon, Grant, Nicole, Tom and Donna arrived in Omaha the last week of July. They made the drive from Eugene with stops in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Grant and Nicole got engaged in the Grant Tetons just a day before we saw them, and we couldn't be happier for them. We hung out in Omaha for a few days and our fellow Duck Alumni, Brett, who is now an assistant professor at Kansas State drove up to Omaha too. We checked out Omaha and UNO for a few days..............

and then drove to Kansas City for a Royals Game. We saw Sammy Sosa hit a home run, a rain delay x 2 and some great laughs...........

and to go to Worlds of Fun. It was about 100 degrees and humid, and after 5 roller coasters we were not feeling so hot. This is the last roller coaster we tackled before the sickness set in......

We had such a good time with everyone here, and it was so hard to say goodbye when they had to start the drive back to Oregon. We miss you guys and can't thank you enough for making the long drive so we could get together. We will post more pictures when we get copies from Nicole, so check back to this post within a few days to see more.....

Here are some more pictures....
