Nebraska visit

On our way out to Idaho we stopped in Nebraska for a few days to hang out with some of the Butler family a little more. It was nice to have time to spend with each family individually and see how things are going on the ranch. Here we are on a little wagon ride, which was very bumpy. Millie (my very pregnant sis-in-law) and I were worried it might put us into labor!

Digging in the "sandbox". Sorry, Millie, for wasting all your potting soil!

Abbie got to sleep on the floor with her cousins, Caroline and Clayton

They all loved this fairy tent and had a hard time sharing the little space inside

Abbie loved petting the baby ponies but didn't want anything to do with actually getting on one of the bigger ones!

Abbie getting roped by Grandpa. Leah loved this and kept wanting to do it over and over.

Bathtime with the cousins. You should have seen how dirty the water was at the end after a day or two of playing outside!

We had a great time visiting with some of the Butler clan and can't wait to see them again in two weeks on our big return trek back home.

Wow. I think everybody needs a grandpa who can use a lasso and lives on a ranch. That is so cool.
