Nebraska

NEBRASKA

My brother told us that he would help us drive to Missouri only if we could stop at Cabela's headquarters in Sidney NE! It was fun to stop, get out and walk around and look at all the animals.

I drove from Salt Lake to Sidney NE (9 hours) We drove through the craziest rain and lightening storm I have ever seen... So I left Ryan drive and car and I rode with my brother in the truck

The stereotype is true... Nebraska is corn field after corn field!

We Made It!

We arrived in Kirksville MO Sunday afternoon. We had 96% humidity!! (not that much if you ask Ryan) We got started right away with unpacking the truck. We watched a good Midwestern lightening storm before going to bed. I'll post pictures and more when we have internet.!!

Girls Night

Last night Ryan and his dad drove to Utah to have a father son night.... So the girls decided to do the same!! Dona and I went to the movie My Sisters Keeper with the Luckau girls!

After the movie we went to Johny Carinos. We finished the night with some ice cream. We went to Sub Zero, where you pick your flavors and they freeze it right in front of you!! It pretty cool.

Dona's first time... still trying to figure out if she likes it or not.

Thanks girls for such a fun night!! Can't wait until around Christmas when we can all get together AGAIN!
