Our last days in Nebraska

I realized I never posted pics from our last days in Nebraska, so better late than never, right??  After church, we went to eat at this fabulous cafe, then spent some time with Brad's grandma.  We had a really nice time visiting with her and she enjoyed getting to see the kids.

Brad and his grandma - such a sweet picture! 

Later that afternoon, we headed over to Brad's friends house for a swim party, cookout and to watch fireworks.  The kids are both looking at the pool as if to say, "You want me to get in there?" 

Hannah ended up going home early (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for picking her up), but Parker stayed, so we tried out the pool.  He wasn't really a fan at first, but he warmed up to it fairly quickly. 

Future Michael Phelps in training - hah! 

Parker got to eat real corn on the cob for the first time, while we were in Nebraska.  He did pretty good, but it was hilarious how he was trying to get every kernel off the cob!

On July 3rd, we went to Uncle Mark's farm for a cookout and fireworks.  This is a tradition that Uncle Mark does every year and we always have a great time!  This was Hannah's first trip, so she was ready!

Parker was fascinated with all the baby kittens 

Parker was a sweet big brother - he pushed Hannah in the swing when she was a little upset! 

We tried the tricycle, but he wasn't quite big enough 

Of course, Parker was intrigued with the tiller - go figure! 

Some great pics of Parker on Uncle Mark's tractor 

We decided to stay in Nebraska on July 4 and ended up coming home the next day.  So, I took Parker to the sporting goods store, where it's 2-stories and they have a ferris wheel inside.  Yes, it's your amusement park-sized ferris wheel.  I have to say that I have not been on a ferris wheel in years, so it was a little exciting for both Parker and myself!

This was his face when we took off - hah! 

This is how high up we were - above the 2nd floor at the top of the store! 

To celebrate the 4th, we ate steaks and root beer floats! 

Grandma Kleeman got a couple of boxes of snaps for Parker, so we all had fun throwing those off the deck and Hannah supervised! 

Before bed, Grandma and Grandpa read to the kids. 

Hannah lost interest in story time, but she loved getting into everything in my bag!  We had a great time in Nebraska and we loved every minute of it.  Thanks for everything Grandma and Grandpa Kleeman!
