While in Nebraska we had a lot of fun going to the pumpkin patch, the children's museum and the zoo. We also had fun visiting with Grandpa, Grandma, uncle Ben, Sara, G-pa, G-ma, Aunt Jane, Uncle Mike, Marla and GiGi. It was nice because we do not get to see them nearly as often as we would like. We arrived at Grandpa and Grandma's house on Wed. around 1pm. We basically just hung out that day and evening since we had been traveling so much the day before and Joshua needed to run off some energy, which he did. When he got out of the car, he told me that "he needed to run, run, run!" That is exactly what he did. He had so much fun playing catch with grandpa and looking at the fish in their pond. The next 3 days were crammed with fun, fun, fun!! During the day over the next 3 days we went to Vala's Pumpkin Patch, which was absolutely the coolest pumpkin patch I have ever been too. Joshua loved it! It was like a little boy's dream. Outdoors, dirt, hay, and wide open spaces to run til you dropped. We also went the the Children's Museum and the Zoo. Both of these places also were great fun! We had never been to the children's museum so that was a great experience and Joshua's favorite exhibit was the ball room. It was hard to drag him away from there. We thought that he would only be able to hang for an hour, but we ended up staying about 2 because he was having so much fun. The morning that we left we decided to go to the zoo, because the last time we went there were a few exhibits that we did not get to see. So we spent a couple of hours there before getting on the road. Our evenings were spent visiting with the family and hanging out on the deck. The weather was absolutely perfect! I really could not get over how perfect the weather was. During the day is was in the low 70's and at night it was high 50's. It was nice to actually be able to wear some long sleeves in October and to actually see a true season of Fall. There were so many pictures that were taken that I could not post them all, but here are the highlights of what we did.

Lots of animals to feed and pet, there was even a camel there.
We tried to get a family picture in front of these pumpkins, but Joshua was not having any part of it.
