Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day weekend, we went to Nebraska.  We try to go back every year for the State Fair and the Nebraska game.  We also spent some time at the farm with Aunt Christi and Uncle Brian and their family.  We picked pumpkins, got the hold Eli, and Caleb taught Grace how to line dance.  The next day we headed to Lincoln for the game which Mike and Grace went to, and, Isabel and I spent the afternoon with Aunt Rhonda and Jeremiah.  We ate lunch, went to the mall, got pedicures, and ate ice cream at the Dairy Store on the University campus.  We had a great time and Nebraska won their game!  Yeah!  We also went to the State Fair, but I didn't get any pictures (Darn!).

Eli.  Such a sweet baby.

Line dancing, which included flips and dips,

 and was so fun.  Caleb sure knows what he's doing!

At the game.  Go Huskers!

These three were so silly and fun!

We ate ice cream here on the University campus under these gorgeous arboretums.

Grandpa planted a tree for every family member

in his yard.  Isabel's is on the left.  It flowers in the Spring.

Everyone in Nebraska, thanks for hosting us!  We had a great time.
