Life in Nebraska ....

I wish I could remember all the fun things he says right now. He's pretty uninhibited and declares that people love him. Never mind if he loves them or not.   Last week we ended our school week on Wednesday and packed up on Thursday for a little camping with just us at Long Pine, Nebraska.  We had just completed our first 25 days of school and the cold weather was on it's way.  So we decided to go...it would be now or never.  We pulled into our campsite when it was getting dark and made some chili soup and enjoyed a little campfire and then to bed.  The next morning was fabulous with the little stream gurgling right out side  the camper window.  The sun was shining and the air was nice and cool.  We dove into fishing and playing hard.  Mathias and Jeanie and I had a nice hike.  The boys fished.  Matt went and got some bait and we caught a nice bunch of fish for our supper.
