Another Great Weekend!

We had yet another wonderful weekend last weekend. It was packed full of fun! Friday night we stayed at the Hampton Inn in Kearney for a mini-vacation. The kids went swimming with their cousin, Keaton, and settled in for a not-long-enough night. :-) They were SO excited to get to stay in a hotel room...and to swim when it wasn't summer yet.










Saturday morning then went swimming again until the very last possible minute before cleaning up to check-out. Then, we checked into the Oldfather Guesthouse. What a need little hidden secret...right outside Kearney. We had won the gift certificate at the Kearney Catholic GOLD auction 2 years ago. It's a little house a couple miles south of Kearney. The nicest family runs it. Lainey and Sophie thought it was SO NEAT to get to stay in a house for vacation. :-) We had a perfect view of the cranes in the surrounding field. They also had dogs and horses the girls LOVED and a swing set and sandbox. The weather was perfect as well. It was just nice and relaxing.

Lainey & Keaton outside late into the night; it was so nice. He just adores her, and the feeling is mutual.


Sunday we celebrated our sweet little niece, Aldyn's, first birthday! It was fun to gather with family in Holdrege and celebrate her.

Aldyn wasn't sure what to think about her cake.

Enjoying lunch at the party.

We had to hustle back to Gretna for our Ramsey class Sunday night. The kids were exhausted from a weekend of great times and wonderful memories. It just proves you don't have to travel far for a fun vacation!
