Day 4: July 17th, 2014 Chadron State Park, NE to Colorado

Good Morning Nebraska!

Cody went from super sleepy cutie to wrestling and throwing in less than five minutes.  We had our first non-cooking breakfast of cereal this morning to get an early start on the day.  We are hoping to hit a few touristy spots in Nebraska today and get to see my brother in Colorado tonight.

Day 3: July 16th, 2014: Pierce, NE to Chadron State Park, NE

Another beautiful day!  More than one Nebraska native has commented on how incredibly nice the weather has been.  One gentleman who was wearing a flannel and working the microfossil table today even called the cooler weather, “Unnatural.”  Sorry, we can’t help it if we bring beautiful weather wherever we go. :-)

Day 2: July 15th, 2014: Anita, Iowa to Pierce, Nebraska

Good Morning Iowa!

We started the day the perfect way with a little family snuggle time.  Snuggle time today eventually ended the way most family snuggle time does these days, with a tickling and wrestling fest.  Neither Scott nor I got up to exercise.  I think Scott was politely waiting for me and I slept in way longer than my usual internal summertime clock of 5:30.  That may have something to do with still being a little too sensitive to the sounds of passing freight trains, dogs barking, and the ranger asking the dogs to leave.  As with all trips I will eventually get tired enough and learn to sleep through the new noises.
