Summer Nebraska Visit

We headed up to Nebraska for our Stahl family visit.

On the way there we missed stopping at one museum in Kansas due to navigating errors on our part, but came up with a new plan to stop at the Worlds Largest Railyard the following day in Nebraska. It was an interesting stop and a chance to learn some railroad history as well.

Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpas!

Makin and Grandma played quite a few card games this year.

Lorelei, Makin and Brooklynn loved taking the cat into the sunroom.

Aunt Sarah's farm is a quick gater trip away and the girls loved to spend time with the kittens and sheep.

Cousins at the park! (Karter was at work.)

An afternoon movie - Wonderpark!

The game of Life.

Makin, especially, likes some time on the wii.

Playing in the rocks and making bridges to walk on.

This girl and her animals. :)

A golf outing with Brad, myself and the kiddos.

Brooklynn started out keeping score and then started playing towards the end of the round.

Me: Stand on your tiptoes!
Makin and Brooklynn: We are!
But how cute is this sign!?

Duckpin bowling fun.

We played many rounds of Crossfire.

We checked out Jupiter positioned very close to the moon!

We took this trip a bit later than usual because Brad and Tim decided they should play in the annual Bag's Bar tournament in Potter. This is one of Brad's favorite hometown tournaments. They made two teams, a cousins team that played in the morning, and then an afternoon team made up of Brad, Tim, Karter and Makin. Makin made some long putts and loved a chance to play competitively with family. Lots of golf and fun and glad they made some memories!

One day Lorelei and I went and got pedicures while the boys played golf. 

The second day we fit in some chalk time with Brooklynn.

We fit in the fastest family shoot on record one evening. We asked Brad's cousin to take some pictures and the timing coincided with a big storm coming in. 

We fit them in so quickly you almost couldn't tell!

Just had to include the evidence of what it was really like. ;) 

Thank you for a great visit Grandma and Grandpa!
