Adele's Day Care

Logan, 19 months, is really learning at Adele's daycare! Before you know it she will be sending me a picture of him doing calculus. lol

She says he is doing really good with the other little boy.

A Day at the Zoo

I spent the last week hanging out with the grandchildren, Matthew and Logan, in Emporia, Kansas. One night we had a picnic dinner at Peter Pan Park where they got so tired and dirty. We were having so much fun during the week that Michelle, Matthew and Logan came up to Omaha with me to see Papa. Saturday we had a great time at the Zoo. They had not seen the Butterfly Pavilion so that is the first place we went. Then we had to go to the aquarium because Matthew likes it but this time it was Logan that would not leave. He loved the penguins and all of the fish. We also went to the Young Woman Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser where Matthew made a new "best" friend, Cooper. The Young Woman did a great job and even had activities for the kids.
Now it is back to work!

Murder at the Four Deuces

I am still trying to catch up on my blogging so here is our excitement for February. We went to the Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Flint Hills murder mystery. Adele and Cortney worked hard on this huge event. Their hard work paid off because it was a really fun event. Michelle was one of the characters; who knew the girl could act. They had a lovely dinner that was inspired by food you would get served in the 20's. We partook of the different courses as the mystery unravelled. Then as a table we had to guess who the killer was. Kirk and I teamed up with Courtney's family to question the cast of characters, trying to guess who the culprit was. I believe there was about 250 people but nobody got it right. Just shows what great actors they were.

Cast of Characters: Adele has been working at BBBS and Cortney is the director. Michelle just loves to help (and obviously act).

Slide show of Florida Vacation

Florida Vacation in January

I know it has taken awhile for me to post something on our vacation but there are a couple of reasons. One is, I don't want it to sound like a travel log....boring. Second is, I am in denial that it is over. We always have a great time with Jim and Lori King. As you can see by the pictures we keep busy. It was relaxing having the timeshare that overlooked the Ocean. We slept every night with our door open so we could fall asleep listening to the surf.

Besides relaxing, we took in some of the local sites at Daytona Beach. We toured the race track even though none of us are big fans but it was interesting learning the history. Thanks Lori for hanging in there! We had a lot of fun at Gaterland hanging out with all of the alligators. We spent most of the day there watching the corny shows and learning way to much about gaters. Kirk really liked the huge alligator that was captured because it was eating dogs. Lori and I spent a nice morning looking at the blobs under the water, aka manatees. There was a lot of manatees because it was cold and they were flocking to the warmer water. It started raining so we didn't spend that much time there.

Well I guess it is starting to sound like a travel log so I need to stop. I think the pictures I attached are worth a million words. I wish we could go there all of the time and take everyone with us.

Kirk made the great slide show above so you can see a few of our pictures.
