On the road day 1

Today we began our 3 day move to Florida. Today we drove from our sweet little Starr Street house through Iowa and down through Missouri. We stopped in Kansas City for some lunch and to stretch our legs a bit. 

We were so sad to leave Nebraska and all the people we've come to love so much. But we are really excited for what's to come !

Our drive today was pretty fun actually. Our stop in KC was great. We stopped at the plaza and ate lunch next to a big ole' fountain which Liam loved. I caught him throwing his chicken strips in the fountain, but all he kept saying was something about ducks. When he grabbed the entire basket of bread I realized he wanted to feed the ducks like we did at the zoo last week. Only problem: no ducks. He was a little hard to convince, but he decided that penny's were just as good. 

It was a fun day and everyone was pretty happy in the car. So cheers to at least one good day on the road and hoping for more. 

Tomorrow is Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee!

Dinosaur dig

This week we went up to Morrill Hall Natural History Museum. It was bunches of fun! We visited the dinosaurs, stood next to a wooly mammoth saw rocks that glowed in the dark, and counted all the big African animals. We even got to dig up dinosaur bones in the kids discovery center. We had lots if fun!

Liam was jumping and growling like a dinosaur. 

MOO!

During June we became real Nebraskans because we went to the dairy farm twice and pet the cows! Thanks to our friends we took a tour then went back a few weeks later for the Dairy Days. It was a blast and we'll definitely be going back next year!!

Liam loved petting the cows. He laughed every time.
Especially when they licked him.

The corn barrel. This was the best! It was way
better than a sand box. But I did find corn kernels
in his pants all the rest of the day.

Liam LOVES dogs!

We loved the Dairy Days because EVERYTHING was FREE! Lunch (which was sooo good), ice cream, rides, milk & it was all so much fun! 

That was our day at the dairy.

Bizarre Place

Ever since we arrived in Nebraska we have noticed that the weather here is a little bit different than Utah or Montana or basically anything we are used to. It is humid, which for some reason I didn't really expect or believe all the way until we got here, and the humidity changes everything. First of all I noticed our spice cupboard had become clumpy. We have to shake out the clumps every time we use the salt. Second, I clean the bathroom regularly, but still things like to grow in the corners and it is gross. And lastly (as of now) the weather is just weird. About two weeks or so ago I woke up to see that the whole place was wrapped in fog. It was crazy how thick it was so I took a picture.

I have only seen fog like that twice in Utah when we weren't in the mountains and it was winter then. But here it happens all the time. What a crazy place Nebraska is. And all I thought that happened here was football.
