BRAN and a visit with the grandparents

Last weekend, Scott did three days of BRAN (Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska) with his Dad. Since Scott was going to be out of town, it was an excellent opportunity for me to take the boys to visit my parents. On Wednesday night we met up with Mike, and Guy and Lincoln got to see Grandpa's tent. As Scott got ready to spend three days traveling nearly 200 miles and sleeping in a tent, the boys and I drove to Lincoln to sleep in a nice warm bed and visit...


...The Lincoln Children's Zoo! My mom and I had fun taking Lincoln and Guy to visit the zoo. Lincoln enjoyed seeing the animals (especially the snakes!), but his favorite part of the trip was riding on the train.  The weather was perfect for a zoo trip - not too cool and not too hot.


Even Guy got to ride on the train!  We couldn't get him to look at the camera because he was too busy watching the train conductor.


Grandma was very generous and let the boys pick out a souvenir from the gift shop.  Lincoln chose a snake (of course!), and Guy chose a very cute baseball cap with a frog on it (although grandma may have influenced his decision).


We came back to KC just in time for Everett's 2nd birthday party (although we forgot to take our camera!)   I'll finish with this photo of Lincoln and Guy playing together.  Lincoln was helping Guy drive his "car", and Guy loved it!
