A visit from Grandpa Hayes

We were all shocked when we got the call but very excited to know that Grandpa Hayes was coming to visit. His last visit was 10 years ago so this was a big event for us. We had seen him during the 10 years, it's just that he hadn't been to Omaha for that long.


Kaleb and Grandpa got along really well. I was shocked to come downstairs one morning to find Kaleb sitting very comfortably on Grandpa's lap. I thought it would take him awhile to warm up, but I was mistaken.



Kaleb got very frustrated when he tried to go through Grandpa's legs because Grandpa would close them just enough that Kaleb couldn't go through.




We went to the Western Heritage Museum which Kaleb really enjoyed. He LOVES trains and while we were there got to go through a few train cars.




I wouldn't be surprised if Kaleb someday became a train conductor.




Cabella's is one of my Dad's favorite places to shop for fishing stuff so of course we had to stop in and look around. There is a shooting range inside which we all took advantage of.



Kaden could barley lift the gun.




Grandpa had to show us how it was done.




Another place we visited was the SAC Museum. This was my favorite plane.

Kaleb didn't want to share one of the exhibits with other kids so as you can see he threw himself on the floor and had a fit.




Whenever someone comes to visit Kassie likes to take them for a walk for a little alone time. She must have been feeling nice because this time she invited Kaden and Kesa to join them. They walked to the park and wore Grandpa out.




For Family Home Evening we thought it would be fun to play laser tag. Mark and I have been a few times, but this was the kids and Grandpa's first time. After Kaden got over his fear of playing in the dark we all had a wonderful time. Mark creamed us all!
