Visiting Nebraska

Last weekend we decided to leave town yet again.  This time we were headed to Nebraska to visit Eric's parents and see his cousin and his family who had come to visit from Oregon.  Friday we went to visit the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha.  (On a side note, we discovered that it is apparently the place to go if you are dating someone in Nebraska).  Gracie toured the zoo the same way that she tours most places . . . asleep.  She did wake up for a little while and the highlight of that was our walk through the butterfly house where a butterfly decided that the flower on her head looked like a good perch and landed for a while.

Saturday was mostly a day for hanging out and watching football, but we did go mini-golfing with Eric's cousins and aunt and uncle.  Once again I was reminded that I am not so good at mini-golf.  Gracie once again missed it by sleeping through the whole experience.  Someday she will start being awake and remembering the things that we do.

Sunday we went to church in the morning and before heading home to Illinois we got a quick picture of Gracie and her Grandma and Grandpa Roundy.  Then we headed home.

This was our first roadtrip with Grace.  She did very well.  She slept the whole way both ways with the exception of one wake up to eat.  I completely believe that they are only going to get tougher from here on out but we did good.
