We met up with a lot of our family on Friday night when they got back from dinner. This was the first time Ethan has met a few of my aunts and uncles, so the standard holding and passing was performed. Ethan did not end up going to bed until roughly 10:30 which made for a pretty rough night for Ali and I. We fought through it and after a Runza run for lunch, we started getting ready for the wedding.
Ali and I have been to some country weddings around Indiana and Illinois, but this is the first time we remember seeing so many cowboy hats at a church. All in all it was a very nice ceremony that E-man did "ok" at and a very nice reception afterwards. (With roughly 400 of their closest friends.)

On Sunday we had an impromptu photo shoot with the four great-grandkids. I took approximately 50 pictures in the span of 3-4 minutes and this is the best I could come up with.

Not sure how JC Penny or other photo shops can get a group of kids to sit still and look straight.
We stopped in downtown Omaha for lunch before our flight back on Sunday and really enjoyed the little Old Market area. We ate a good lunch at Upstream Brewing Co. Lunch was the end of the fun on Sunday. Although only an hour flight back to Chicago, Ethan was "that kid" on the flight back. Crying, screaming, all of the sort. He finally fell asleep on Ali's shoulder approximately 3 seconds before touchdown at Midway. Great - nice timing big guy.
Preceding our trip to NE, my parents took our camera and drove out to Mount Rushmore and the Badlands. They had never been and highly recommend it. Here are a couple of pics:
