No but I have to brag..Daniel received the honor of employee of the year! His employer is the largest traveling company in the U.S. so this is a huge honor! I am so proud of you Daniel!!!!
Last week it began to cool down but it was not until the weekend it turned cold! Brr! Friday night we went out for pizza (justified warmth) at one of the funnest pubs we have found on our travels so far. A local hang out in the downtown area of Omaha brought great pizza, fun times, and many memories! In the words of a hammered 70 year old man at 7PM..(a lady walked in by herself) "Hey (to his buddy) must be cold look at that lady's (yea you know)". He yelled it!!
Saturday after Daniels work obligations, we made a trip to Cabela's to look for more hunting "stuff" as I put it for Daniel and to locate public land in Nebraska. Then we headed over to Vala's pumpkin patch which far over exceeded my expectations.It was over 150 acres of a Fall Festival and a complete experience with camp fires, shows, animals, hay rack rides, and plenty of homemade treats to eat and admire. Neither one of us had been in a corn maze and it was a 5 acre Nebraska Cornhusker blast! We also watched the Pigtucky Derby Pig Races, pumpkins launch, apple sling shot, a haunted house and cemetery, and of course found the "Great" pumpkin! We had a great time looking in the sunset for the perfect pumpkin and picking it off of the vine! The picking area was a little off of the beaten path and most do not hike back into the 55 acre pumpkin patch! After finding the Charlie Brown pumpkin we dined on treats of the season and one of the best and largest Carmel apples! I told Daniel I want another one for my birthday and he laughed! Some of the pictures are a little dark as it was getting dark while we were there.
Sunday we got up early and again became experts on water filters. We have some of the hardest water we have ever experienced. I honestly would rather have the lake water at the lake house. It is full of copper, iron, calcium, and its dark!! So after putting in three filters outside and one in the kitchen we are good to go! I also found a well/hard water shampoo. Who knew!? No more iron smell and soft hair again! Its the little things in life!
It was a great weekend with both Hog and Horn Wins!! Cassie the pictures from your party are so cute! Looks like you had a great time...
This weekend we are off to look at public land in Iowa and Nebraska. Daniel, my daddy, and his friends are gearing up for bird season (pheasant, quail, and grouse). Its that time of year...shopping time!!
