Kirk is out back shooting off bottle rockets with the big kids. Nici and Robby didn't get to go to a firework show so I asked Kirk to come and shoot of what he has.
Jessalynn went to Alexis's house for the fourth so we went to Harrahs without her for the first time since we have been up here. BUT before that we went to the outdoor concert at Memorial Park for the first time. Every other year since we came to Omaha something has come up and we couldn't go. This year Kansas, Styx, and Foreigner were playing and the city expected to top the record 40,000 people who attended. 80,000 people showed up!!!! We got there late because Jeremy had to work. People were parking about a mile away by the time we got there. I dropped Jeremy off, Kansas had already played but he got there right as Styx was starting. I took Kira home for most of the concert and went back to get him but I couldn't get near the place to get him. Dodge street was closed off by then so I parked and we walked to the park texting Jeremy to meet up with him. He'd gotten pretty close to the stage, of course, and it was really crazy up there. People were comparing it to Woodstock and it smelled like skunks and there were a lot of drunks and people were body surfing the crowd and everything. The fireworks were awesome, I've never been that close to a big firework show. Leaving the park we got turned around in the crowd somehow and ended up walking a half mile the wrong way, turned around ,and found the van. I thought I wasn't going to make it a few times!! The traffic leaving the park was unbelievable, we wouldn't know that there were 80,000 people there until the next day but it looked like all of Omaha was driving away from Memorial Park.
I could barely walk the next day, my feet were so swollen I felt taller, but the pain is better today.
Jami had Kira for an overnight visit Saturday night. Kira seemed to enjoy herself. Jami called around noon Sunday saying she hurt her back and needed to go to an ER and could I come get Kira early. I told her Jeremy had the van so I couldn't go there before four. They were fine when I got there. Kira seemed to enjoy having the run of the place but Jami did look very tired from running after her.
I got all of the kids today. I'll likely keep all of them except Riley for a few days. Riley would have a meltdown if he was away from home for too long.
I saw Dr. Gold today. I asked if there was anything more that could be done for me and he pretty much said no.
I'm not accepting that.
OK. Out of here.
Peace!
