  53. My sister lives in Omaha and there is never a family visit that we do not go to this park. I have shot of family members being stepped on by the horses hoofs, children being carried on the wagons, folks with their arm around a statue as if falling in step with them, everyone going down the giant slide and so many others. We also have to get a group shot of our reflections in the windows of the newspaper office building across the street.

    Love your shots. They remind me of the fun we always have visiting this area.
