Husker Country

Last weekend we took a trip to Adam's brother and sister-in-law's.  One of the highlights this time were tours of both of their workplaces. First, we visited Andy's first grade classroom!

 

"So, Buster...we meet again."  
Ryan got to try out the special "wiggle seats" that are offered to students who have trouble sitting still. They are slightly inflated and cause you to have to constantly move to balance yourself.  Andy has done so much work putting together his classroom. He has a lucky bunch of first graders!

After the school tour, we headed to Wheatfield's for a supper celebrating Adam's grandma's 75th birthday! There was so much to choose from and the only thing that kept me from devouring the dessert case was the promise of birthday cake at home. 

It happened to be the night before Halloween but I'm not sure what was scarier for the local Husker crowd- the eight foot spider hanging from the ceiling, or the presence of a one-year-old in an Iowa Hawkeye warmup. We actually heard the disgusted comment from the party sitting behind us! HA! Go Hawks!

After supper, we toured the public areas of the hospital where Kim works. It is beautiful and has the most amazing bathrooms--each stall has it's own sink! Also, Ryan threw his pacifier into the hospital's waterfall/fountain. I hope his wish comes true.

We had a great time with the family and are grateful to Andy and Kim for letting us stay with them! Ryan loves spending time with you and so do we!
