Our trip to NE was memorable, fast, busy, fun, and of course at times exhausting (for me anyway). We spent 2 1/2 days in Long Pine, NE tubing with my mom and siblings. The weather could have been warmer, but it didn't stop us from getting in the water. The girls loved it and Dax hated it. The 57 degree water was a stark contrast to the 87 degrees he was used to in the pool!
After Long Pine we cruised up to spend a few days with Grandpa Rick and Grandma Cheryl. We managed to get to the pasture, see Gma Ethel and Aunt Betty (Cheryl's sister), show Grandpa and Grandma how we swim, see the newest addition to the Borer Bunch (Baby Sienna), ride the 4-wheeler, ride Chris' horse Jack, and visit with Great Grandma Juan who drove to Albion to see us. Never a dull moment at Grandpa's house...we even marked off a family 1st while there. Adelaide got 5 stitches in the top of her ear after falling out of bed. The stitches are out and all is well! ;o)
We headed for Omaha on Wednesday evening and stayed with Brady, Colleen, Riley, and Tobin for the remainder of our stay. On Thursday we hit the zoo with Grandma Ann bright and early. It was a great day for the zoo, not many people there and we actually got into the Butterfly Complex! I am still kicking myself for forgetting the camera. The girls have taken a liking to catching bugs with their nets and I know they really enjoyed seeing all the butterflies float past us. Arg...next time! We made the most of our 4 hour trip making it to almost every exhibit!
On Friday we hung out at Riley and Tobin's. Piper and Blake made it over to see us for a couple of hours and we met Amy, Alexa, and Alainey at the park for a couple of hours too. Our stay went fast, but like I said we had fun! Thank you to every one who accommodated us while we stayed and those who made it over to see us. We would love to return the favor sometime!
After 8 days in NE, we are still trying to get back to a state of normal. That has been easier said than done with Hurricane/Tropical Storm Fay looming and the start of school just around the corner.
