Omaha Trip - Lancers Hockey Game - ACE FIRST SMILE / FIRST TRAVELS

Ace's first travels was to Omaha for a Lancer Hockey game. Jason and his family were getting together with their cousins on the Kuehnhold side. When they were down to visit they told us about the get together and suggested that we join. Jesse and I decided to join them for the weekend....we ended up having a great time. It was great getting to know that side of the family since technically I have never really spoken to them, Easton had a great time at the hockey game and swimming at the hotel and playing with his cousins Gage, Hannah and Ava. Ace slept the whole time during the game. Ace gave us his first smile during the trip which was so cute to see. Love his little smile. Over all we had a great trip with Jesse's cousins and hopefully we can get together with them more often.
