Nebraska Wild Life Safari.....

Saturday April 5th:
This Saturday for our conference weekend we decided that in between conference sessions we would drive down to the Safari park in between Omaha & Lincoln. I packed us a lunch & some snacks & we were on our way. As soon as we got there I handed the girls there PB&J sandwiches & unbuckled them & we were off.


Our 1st animals were the elk. They were so cool!! Kelsey & Linds kept trying to do an elk bugle! I think they watch the animal planet with their dad too much!!
Check out how close they are to our window!!



Next on our ride were the white tail deer.
Then you drive through the wet lands which had ducks, geese, frogs & turtles. We think there was a beaver or two but we never saw them but there was a beaver home farther down the road.
Sadie road on my lap because we were driving so slow she was getting crazy in her car seat. Check out the buffalo. They were so close & the girls were freaking out!! They all LOVE animals so much.


After the buffalo we got out of the car & went on a hike to wolf canyon & the black bears. Daddy is lifting Kelsey up so she can see.

Here's the Bear!!
See the black dot by the tree, above Kelsey's head? That is the bear & how close we were to it.

Daddy lifting Linds so she could see the bear.

Checking out the Wolves in Wolf canyon.




Look at how close the wolves were when we walked farther up the trail.
There is another wolf in the corner by Daddies head.
Kelsey took this picture of Dad & mom.
Walking back down the trail.
Sadie running FREE out of the stroller. She is a complete NUT!!!
TAG!!!!!


Daddy & his girls!!! (Sadie looks like poor Linds may be hanging on a bit too tight!!)

We had so much fun together as a family on our little adventure. We love spending time together out doors. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much this year & we are so grateful. Plus we live in such a beautiful place & have such gorgeous girls!!

Spring!!!!!

Here is my first flower popping out of the ground in my back yard! My tulips are coming up around it now too & in the front yard!
It has been so nice out that the girls have been playing outside ALL day!! It is wonderful. Here the girls are playing with the chalk. Kelsey is OBSESSED with hop scotch! It cracks me up.
The pictures don't do it any justice!! I is SO green here & it just keeps getting greener EVERYDAY!!!

Funny things about Sadie...

The other night I wwnt into check on Sadie & found THIS.....
She was naked!!! She just thinks it is the funniest thing to strip & throw her clothes on the floor!! I swear, She is such a Funny kid!!!

The next day she came to me with MARKER all over her face!! She thought she was so pretty like it was her make-up!!

Sadie LOVES to help mom!! Her favorite thing to do is throw her diapers in the garbage!

Ferris Wheel...

On Saturday we went to Scheel's sporting goods store in Omaha. It was really neat. They have a Ferris wheel in the middle of the store & Kelsey & Lindsey & I got to take a ride. The picture quality is kind of poor but we forgot our camera. So all we had was Bryan's cell phone. Kelsey was so funny! At first she was so nervous & was dead set that she was going to fall out of it & insisted that I hold onto her tight! Lindsey on the other hand was THRILLED!!! She wanted it to go FASTER & HIGHER!!! She must get that from me because I LOVE roller coasters & thrill rides! Sadie was so cute, waving at us from the ground. Every time we would pass she would smile all big & wave & yell "MOM!"




This is a Rondom picture. I had to take it though. For those of you who knew Kelsey as a baby will notice how much Sadie is starting to look JUST like her. I took this picture of Sadie's hair right before church. Check out those CURLS!!!
Kelsey & Lindsey getting ready for church. They are the best of friends!
