Kenefick Park

We had a great conference weekend here in Omaha. Luckily we have DirectV and so we got to watch all of the sessions of conference on BYU TV. I am pretty sure that people who had cable also got it, but I like to tell myself that it was one of the perks of paying for DirectV. :) We just relaxed around the house together all weekend. On Sunday we decided to go on a walk over to Kenefick Park behind our house. It is where the railroad started in the east. Kind of cool. We used to live where the railroads met by Promontory so I guess to make things fair we will have to live in Sacramento someday too!! Here are some fun pictures of our walk.

Kael and I on our walk. He wanted his picture taken because he said we were in a jungle with all of the tall bushes.
Handsome Kael posing by a rock wall.
Aidan being cute.
Aidan doing "blue steel". SO COOL!
A nasty Omaha spider that the boys found.

Kael and Aidan with the gardens and parking lot behind them. I don't know what Kael has been learning at school, but it looks like gang signs to me.
In honor of Mr. Felt. Aidan and I are squatting on Promontory and Kael is standing on Omaha.
Good Old Promontory. Didn't know it was really that famous did ya?


All of the boys by one of the trains.
The Union Pacific and Central Pacific! A huggin and a chuggin down the rail.....
I don't know if those are the real words to the song, but that's what I thought it said. For those of you who don't know this song....you are missing out. Joseph LOVES it when I sing it.
The bridge and freeway over the Missouri River to Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Hahaha! I DO know what you're talking about with that song. "It happened on the 10th of May in 1869, a wedding filled with gold and silver nails. They set a heavy pace while a racin' to the place for the setting of the wedding of the rails!" I also don't know if those are the exact words, but it's sure a fun one to sing!
