We had planned for some time to take the kids to a water park somewhere near Lincoln. We had explored several options, including Mahoney State Park, Omaha, Grand Island, and Hastings. In the end, however, we decided the kids probably wouldn't care so much about how fancy the water park was, but more about how long they would have to spend in the van traveling to and from said park. Thus, Lincoln's Star City Shores was the final choice, as it was just a drive across town and every bit as entertaining.
We had an absolute blast! Kaedyn spent the majority of his time on the water slides, while Mandi, Madilyn, Korynne, and I hung out in the fountain and pool areas. It took some encouragement, but Madilyn finally worked up the courage to tackle the kiddie slide, and loved every bit of it. Mandi and I did take turns joining Kaedyn on the bigger slides, and when all was said and done, each of us had soaked in our share of sunshine.
We came home and grilled steak, cooked up some corn-on-the-cob from one of those little roadside stands, and mashed some potatoes for supper. After baths, we partook in an old summer classic - Dilly Bars from Dairy Queen. Sunshine, swimming, kiddos, Nebraska beef, ice cream. Now that's a vacation, people!
