Fun trip to Nebraska!

Although Nebraska was definitely a midwest town (see previous post), we actually had a really good time there over Labor Day weekend with Kimberly's brother Quinn and his family (Amy, Makayla, Dylan, Allie, & Lance). They were awesome hosts...and kept us entertained non-stop. Lincoln was actually an incredibly beautiful place to visit.


Winter Quarters & Temple



The reason Quinn & Amy are in Lincoln is because Quinn is finishing up his 32 & 33rd year of school (he has 1 year left to become an Orthodontist). We got a personal tour of the facilities...I have to admit, it was pretty impressive.




One of the days we were there, it rained like crazy! Us AZ kids didn't know what to do with ourselves. The kids had a blast.

This was a fun little toy - Courtney, Cassidy & Makayla pictured below

There's a funny story behind this picture, but you'll have to ask Quinn what happened.


One of the highlights of the week was going with Quinn to the opening game of the Cornhuskers season. It was INSANE! I have never seen fans like those in Lincoln.





Good times at the Nebraska State Fair.

Nice blog Jason. I can't wait to see the scrapbook pages you've done, too. Oh, and can you please post a picture of you in your favorite apron? That would be hot!

Just kidding. Blogs are cool and so are you.

My sister lives in Omaha and we went to that same children's museum in Lincoln a few years ago when we went back there for X-mas. I've heard that attending a Husker game converts you into being a fan, even if you weren't before, it is that impressive. I think the stadium becomes the third largest city in the state on game day. Only question is, didn't you feel kind of icky wearing all of that red?
