nebraska

Oliver and I had a few days off from work so we decided to visit some friends in Nebraska.

Baking, because they don't let us in without a treat

Now entering tangent territory....
Oliver is wearing his new FEED shirt from the It's A Small World collection over at Nordstrom.  The purchase of this shirt sends 150 vitamins to kids in need.  No I do not shop at Nordstrom on the regular, but this collection is just so adorable.  The Small World 45th anniversary collection ends with the delivery of the Russian Holiday collection in November, come on that's got to be precious.   

On our way up to Lincoln we stopped at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City.  Nebraska City is the closest thing I can find to New England in Nebraska.  Lots of trees (home of arbor day), and lots of fun fall activities...not that we partook in much.

Apple picking and eating

Rock climbing

Sleeping in his very own queen size bed, now that's living

Next we drove up to Lincoln to visit my co-workers, students, and our former neighbors.  It's times like that when I miss having a job.  Oliver doesn't get my jokes and takes my baking for granted, I love him anyway.  The next day we spend at the Lincoln Children's Museum, which is less expensive than the one here in Kansas, and way way better.  Oliver loved it.  Mostly climbing in the real firetruck and playing with the toy trains.  

Go Big Red

Lastly we headed up to Omaha to see the lovely John, Michelle, and children.  Hung at the zoo, played in the apartment, and got nice and sleepy at the park.  All equaling a quiet four hour drive home, wrong he stayed awake for most of it but was happy and chatty instead of crappy and screaming. 


All in all a nice visit.  It's always fun to get away.  Whose coming to Kansas?
