The day before I left for Lincoln, I had a going away party in Kansas City. My amazing co-workers (former, now) threw me a party and it was basically my excuse to get all of my friends together before I left. There was a monsoon in KC that night, so an extra thanks to everyone who came out in the crappy weather to say their goodbyes! I expect lots of visitors! Below are a couple pictures from the party:
And, my friend Ben came and gave me a nice gift. He said since I'm moving to Denver I have to get used to drinking Coors Light!
The first week in Lincoln went by pretty fast. I did a lot of 'catch-up' on sleep, made a day-trip to Denver (which resulted in a new job for me!) and hung out with friends. I was most looking forward to my Saturday, though.
My cousin, Jessi, has two little boys, Brevin and Pierce, whom I call my nephews, and I LOVE spending time with them. They crack me up all the time! I have wanted to take them to the Lincoln Children's Zoo for the longest time, and I finally got the time to do it. I remember as a little girl always going to the zoo and how it was the coolest thing ever. Well, it's a nice zoo, but definitely not quite like I remembered it. I kept walking through the zoo thinking "this isn't how I remembered it". One of the favorite parts was definitely the train ride. Brevin and Pierce love trains so we saved it for the end. Throughout our time at the zoo, Pierce came saying "Is it time to ride the train yet?" So cute!
There's a picture of me on this same turtle when I was about Pierce's age!
And finally......the train ride!!!
I loved my time in Lincoln, getting to spend a lot of relaxing time just hanging with the fam and friends, but it's definitely time to get on the road! It's quite boring while everyone else is at work and you're at the house all day - vacations aren't as fun unless someone is on it with you!
