We've been very busy these last few weeks, as you will see. We celebrated Lyvi's 12th birthday with a couple of her closest friends. Then we traveled to Nebraska. Day 1: drove to McCook. Day 2: helped Elise sew her 4-H project. Day 3: drove to Lincoln. Jason had been traveling and/or in Michigan for the last few weeks but he happen to be in Nebraska, so we went to see him. We stayed with Janel and her boyfriend Jamie at their ponderosa. Complete with a pond (lake), 4-wheeler, and of coarse excavator. Doesn't every 12 year old have the opportunity to run some heavy equipment? (And yes she was running the controls with a little help.) I also got to meet my friend Mandy's new little girl Sydney, since we were in town. Day 7: back to McCook.
