Nebraska!!

The first weekend in May we packed up and headed to Lincoln for Maddy's doctoral graduation!  She told us she has been in school for 25 years but she does have something to show for it!  It was great to help her celebrate and we had a great weekend! 

Finnean's windmill dance!! 
Interstate 80 is packed with new windmills-so he LOVED that...then we made our lunch stop at this little town to check out the old windmill...obviously he loved it!  A little side note while we enjoyed the beautiful day and had a picnic...a bird flew by and pooped on ALL THREE OF US!! How in the world can a bird hit all of us in one shot!!  We chalked it up to luck and went on with our day :)

Aunt Ellie and Finnean at Aunt Maddy's PhD graduation!!

Family time in the Husker Hall of Fame!

Burning off some energy after the ceremony!

Get down!!

Family!
We are so proud of you Maddy!!

Hut, hut, HIKE!!!

whew! playing is exhausting!!

After supper at Adam and Maddy's we headed to our hotel to for a little swim.  Finnean was so brave and actually took a few dips in the pool!  He looks so big!!

Yes the water was fun but the step was a very safe place to camp out while everyone else enjoyed splashing around!

Loaded up and ready to go the Omaha zoo!!!

Cozmo enjoying the zoo!!  We have a picture just like this with Finnean in my belly...only if I could locate it!

Whoa!!!

Train ride around the zoo with Uncle Adam and Mommy. 

Must have been something really cool!!

I can't believe that he touch the alligator but he thought it was pretty neat!!

After all that walking and exploring we headed downtown to the Old Market for lunch at Zio's Pizza. (SO YUMMY and is place to put on your list to go)  They have the best idea to keep kids entertained, give them pizza dough!!  Finnean LOVED it and made all kinds of stuff!

Checking the giraffes with Aunt Maddy. 
(I haven't figured out how to move pictures around...so it is a little out of order!)

Burning off the last of the energy after lunch...

This was taken one minute after we finally got on the road for home...I would say he was tired!!
