Visit With Cardonas in Omaha

Bob had a magic club meeting down in Omaha on Mon. so we drove down for that, and we always like to include a visit with the Cardonas. As it turned out Nicholas, the handsome great nephew with the purple emperor hat (see below), went to the meeting with Bob. They made a night of it, getting burgers and milk shakes in addition to going to the magic club meeting.



I stayed and visited with Mitzi, Al, Christian, Aly, and Logan and got caught up on what they were up to. We went to a Mexican food place and had good food and margaritas. Then we came home and played SCENE IT. I am NOT good at that game. I think I may have even fallen asleep. But I think I made some noises every once in a while which turned out to be right answers and gave my team a point or two :)



The next morning we went out for brunch at a really cool place and attached is a really cool store, and we had to go into the store and take some pictures of us trying on unique hats. Actually Aly was sick and Christian was with a friend so they didn't join us.



Al and Nicholas got ready to go camping for a few days at Mahoney State Park, between Omaha and Lincoln. Aly was going to go, but she got sick, and Christian had to work. After a stormy night last night, they faired well, and Mitzi and Christian went out to visit them for the day. Hope they enjoy the rest of their camping trip.



Mitzi and I think that Mahoney State Park might be a great place for a Hopkins reunion if people are interested. Check out their website. They have 6 bedroom cabins, 4 bedroom cabins, and 2 bedroom cabins I think. Anyway it would be more expensive than the place in Tuscaloosa, but it could be a great place. There is camping there too if people would opt to camp, but it would be in a different area. There's a nice water park, fishing in the Platte River, water activities on a small lake there, and even a theater for movies. We would have to make plans soon to reserve cabins for next summer. An idea.



Here are some pictures of us being silly at the store.






I entertained and read books to Logan while Mitzi went to order Christian's senior pictures and Al and Nicholas got ready to go camping. Aly was in bed being sick. Ugh. Logan really liked the airplanes. He has traveled on airplanes a couple of times already. Thanks for a nice visit, Cardonas.
