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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
