Nebraska - Children's Museum

We made the long trek back to Nebraska today.  It wasn't too bad, but for sure a 
long time sitting in a car seat.  Before you knew it we were in Nebraska at
Mimi's house.  Yeah!  For the record this place is pretty cool. 

Two cool dudettes on a long, long trip back to Nebraska. 

No Sloane, you can't climb up here.  


Oh, this is where I can climb up.  

I can't believe Mimi was crawling around in there. 


Um, anybody got any acorns?

Goodness, gracious, greatballs of fire!

I think I like this water exhibit. 

Correction, I love this water exhibit 
(so much that I ended up soaking wet and had to change my ensemble)!


I'll just fill up this little cup right here.  

They tried to get a couple of pictures of the family 
in the big red chair, but I was not havin' it. 

Hey, this reminds me of The Price Is Right.  

Watch out everyone, I'm ready
to get the groceries.  


Daddy was doing some cool things on this pin wall.  

Watch this.  

Daddy was doing his best pilots impersonation.  

Thanks for sitting with me Mimi.

Pumpkin Patch


It was that time of year again for us to take our annual trip to Anderson Farm, and enjoy the day at the pumpkin patch to have some excitement.  This time was different, because I was able to invite my Bestie and her family to join the fun.  

Everyone was surprised I feed the goat. 


This was my first attempt on the spider web.  

Both me and my bestie are stuck in the net.  


Total flashback from last year.


We were a little lost, but we had fun getting lost.  

The circle of life.  

Beep, Beep, out of our way.  

I was determined to win the race.  

I finally road the barrel cars without screaming to get out.  The big news 
was Daddy practically getting stuck in these cars while riding 
with Sloane.  He thought they would need to get the 
jaws of life to get him out.  

One more trip down the 
slide to make Daddy uncomfortable.  

I want this pumpkin.  

I went on my first pony ride.  

Yippee!

Go Big Red!

Mommy I think I'm done riding the pony.  






Husker Hike

Today we went out for a awesome hike to see fall time leaves and to climb a mountain.  We hiked up to Devils Head Fire Tower.  We started the hike without a care thinking it would be an easy little climb.  Boy were we wrong.  It's not that it was impossible.  It was just straight up.  It was so rewarding to get to the top and have a nice little meadow between two very tall rock cliffs.  We had a great snack there before we walked up the 143 steps to the tower.  The way down is always better and quicker.  

Walking along the dirt road to start the day.  I was the line leader. 
 
I might have taken the line leader thing a little too far...zoom! 
Mommy and Daddy told me to slow down a little so I didn't tire too early
(I realized later that was probably a good suggestion)!


Daddy I love you!

Beautiful.  


It wasn't long before the terrain
got steep. 


Walking up the mountain. 


I had a good view of the 
changing Aspens.  

Yeah! I'm having fun with Daddy!

Wait I want my Mommy!

Go Daddy Go!

I got a great view of the the blue sky riding on Daddy's back.  

What?  I look up at the sky and I get blinded by the sun. 
It's still pretty.  

Momma?  Can I go down there?

Where's Daddy?

Halfway point snacks.  

I can see so far.
 
Up, up, up we go...

Thanks for carrying me Mommy. 

Rules on a hike?

The last obstacle.  The stairway to 
Devils Head Tower.

We made it up to 9,748 ft. 
 
Proof that we all made it to the top!
 
Daddy wanted to get Sloane walking. 
 
Our view...

I could see for miles!
 
We decided we needed some 'selfies' after our long trek...
 
Mommy giving me some love!
 
Silly faces!
 
Next up were Daddy and Sloaney 'selfies'!
 
And then Sloane just being adorable;)
Go Big Red!
 

I needed a little rest on the way down...
thanks for the lift Daddy!
