Vacation '09 - Day 3

A hike...Meet and Greet...and a Rodeo...

We headed out early in the morn' from South Dakota to Fort Robinson state park in Nebraska. We thought we'd hit a few stops before we got there. One of the most advantageous places we stopped was a lake that had a beautiful trail around it. We took some time before we tore into our lunches to take a little 'hike.'

Heading on up...

Flowers from my boy...
The troops.

There were sweet rocks to climb.

Checking out a waterfall.

By the lake. (Sol was really excited for this picture...)

Dangerous terrain.

Oh give me a home..where the...

At the fort...
Sooo good to see family...

Sam finally gets to see 'his girls!"
(I love the kid's faces when the finally get to see each other...I wish I could have captured it..)

Playtime begins...

Sol's loving it

Sweet Lilli

Checking out the living quarters.

Uncle Tate and the whole crew

Shep finally got to play with uncle Dave (he'd been waiting!)

Darcy and Vicki and precious Noelle...

Papa Tom and Marin and Lilli

Each night at Fort Robinson they have a little play or activity. The night we arrived they had a Rodeo (or as Shep would say...'Radio') And the kids (and adults) were excited to go....

The crew
More fun to come...

(On a side note I cannot believe I didn't take a picture of precious baby Noelle! Seriously. When I was holding her I was too busy kissing and cuddling to think about pictures. But I can say, for the record, she's perfect. :)

I totally came looking for pictures of Noelle! Not that the rest of you aren't great to look at. :) You're forgiven... glad that you got lots of snuggle time!

I know, I know. I'm a total looser.

She is awesome though...:-)
