Desmond expressing the near-universal excitement of avocado toast for breakfast
Checking out the bumblebees
At park near the farmers market
These two goofs
Some sort of construction truck rodeo, with lots of rules
A girl and her slide

Des shows off his motorcycle jumping an equally impressive block tower
Attending the Benson Days parade to start off the daddy weekend adventure
“Send that picture to mommy!” -Des
Taking a break from soliciting candy to watch the drum line
Des and Ella outside the Waiting Room, where mom and dad attended the Drive-By Truckers show just the night before
Watching the opening minutes of Up while dad openly sobs on the couch (“That’s the movie you wanted to do while I’m not there?” -mom)
Cheeseboard picnic for movie night with dad.
Surprisingly no regrets for being Ella’s first free-range (no high chair) dinner in the house

Well that’s one riding position…
Team ride up to Farnam (a.k.a., the “big street” to watch the cars)
Dental tug of war- disapproved by five out of five pediatric dentists

Max: the absolute best family dog

A moment of morning peace while they look at a book together
The zoodles–spiralized zucchini noodles–are a hit with Eleanor (an understatement)

Rocking brother’s first bike helmet, Eleanor is ready to roll!
Getting to select one toy each, Desmond randomly opted for the Etch A Sketch. Not sure if in hindsight he felt that was a winning choice.
All packed in for their three-hour tour.
And they’re off!
In support of Omaha Girls Rock, Des & Ella practice their dance routine before the bands start
Ear protection… check.
During a break between bands, Eleanor reflects on the prior band’s pop influences
Maybe the next generation of rockers
Des getting in one last listen in front of the capgun coup mural
Oh yeah, impromptu sushi dinner
July 20th, 2018
Ella digs into her fried rice…
…meanwhile, Des signals with a “wink” that he’s finished his dinner and wants confirmation of a treat (that word has been banned at the table, as it’s a hurdle Ella’s one-track mind can’t clear once spoken)
Eleanor’s adorable enthusiasm for anything labeled a “treat” (which half of the time is fruit anyway)
