nebraska...day three

now i ask, wouldn't you have traveled across the country to spend the day with these great kids? did i mention the kids' ages are 9, 7, 5, 3, 1? yeah, and we color coordinated, we were a sight!! :)


this day we headed to the state capitol...

the kids loved the "hall of heads"!

natalie and vivian were as thick as ever...

but didn't mind luke jumping onto their motorcycle at our next stop, the children's museum!

wait, there is one more cycle enthusiast!! :)

the "thingy"? (what do you call those things?) was a big hit, too!!

bauer did a bit of shopping...

and a bit of pizza delivery!

even the big kids checked things out!!
vivian explored her options for a future in farming...

or possibly medicine?

bauer just explored. ;)

nicky and vivian had a bit of a water war...

not quite sure who won, because it had to be broken up when they turned from guns to buckets! ;)

next, it was off to ivanna cone for a snack, and even though it began to rain...

i don't think these two noticed!

we decided indoor swimming might be the best way to end the evening. luckily, the kids weren't hard to convince! ;)

I want to see the big girl's dress. Looks cute.
Ya'll really did a lot. Which is awesome- you really get to see what their town is like. Looks like the Benders showed ya'll a good time.
