Couches are good for chilling.

We finally got a couch in our new apartment. Guess I gotta get a virtual tour set up.

Anything you can do

Sydney and Damon playing.

Morrill Hall

What are they so excited about? This was their first visit to Morrill Hall...also known as the elephant museum. This museum has several mammoth skeletons and other fossils and is a favorite of all Eastern Nebraska school children.





We actually went to go watch a show at the planetarium. The best part of the show...Sydney shouting out "THE END" as the title flashed on the screen five minutes into the show. The whole crowd laughed.

Tasting a Lemon

Hmmm...this could be good.


Oh wait, never mind.

Family Day at Law School

Every year the law school has a meet the families day. We get to meet some of the other law students' families and also meet some of the deans of the school.


Fishing for prizes.


A pink cow! She really enjoys that cow.


Goody walk. She won a bag of gummy worms that mommy and papa greatly enjoyed. ;)a

Going to the Zoo--Picture Heavy

We went to the zoo with Grandma and Talia. We had express orders to see two things: giraffes and elephants. So, we saw them and a few things in between and then ended our visit at the aquarium.





Penguins by the giraffes.















The zoo opened what they call Skyfari. Talia was chomping at the bit to ride it.





This is a baby penguin. Huge, huh?

Playing at the Park

One of the nice things about Lincoln is the MANY parks the city has. Seriously, we've been to several ward activities and have yet to go to the same park. We have fun going in the afternoons when Charles is done with his classes and homework.

Night In

Papa's BYU hat, t-shirt, and cow undies.



It doesn't get much better than this.

Chopsticks

How do I use these things, Dad?


I get the food on them, somehow.


Maybe like this?


That seems to work...


...with a little bit of help.


Try this one more time...




Little more help...


...into the mouth...


...and I did it!

Hide in Cave?

Anywhere can be a cave to a two year old. It's her favorite pastime.

Fruits of her Labor

My parents have a tomato and pepper garden growing in their front yard. Sydney thinks it is awesome to go out with Tata and pick the produce.












Of course, I forgot to take a picture of all the unripe ones she picked. Oh well.

Sunken Gardens

We went and visited the Sunken Gardens in Lincoln. It was pretty neat, especially since you are below the level of the street and so you hear cars passing by and the sound is over your head.

If I were cooler, I would have done this one in HDR, alas, I am not cool (nor do I think I have the software.
