Vacation! - the Nebraska part.

So after a fun weekend with the Cortney's, we headed to Nebraska (about a 4 hour drive) to see my moms side of the family.  Again, I'll let the {bazillion} pictures do the talking:

As soon as we arrived, my cousins and Aunt's and Uncle's were at Grandmas waiting for us!  Peyton playing with my cousins son, Evan.

 My cousin Katie and Peyton.

 My cousin Katie and Aunt Carol, Aunt Dicki.

 My grandma, cousin Kelly and Laurie.

 My grandma's had this organ since I can remember.  It's one of those things that makes you feel all fuzzy and warm.  Here my grandma is with her great grandson's.

 Peyton was IN LOVE with Evan!  Seriously too cute!  He kept hugging and kissing him. ;)

 Anther thing about my grandmas house that makes the heart all fuzzy and warm is her backyard.  I've always loved it.

 My sister Laure and I with grams.

 We spent an afternoon at Cody Park looking at all the animals.  It was like a zoo, there were tons of animals!

 I just love this!!

 Goofy!

 Walking around Cody Park.

 Checking out the train at Cody Park.  We went inside of it, pretty neat.

 Peyton loved the organ.  We played it every day!

 Dinner at Whiskey Creek!

 My Grandpa and Peyton.  :)

 There was a bunny outside that HE saw first.  You can see it behind the chair...

 My Uncle Steve works at the railroad - it's the biggest train yard in the WHOLE WORLD!  He explained how it all works and it's very cool.

 At my Uncle Steve and Aunt Carol's for some American Idol and pizza.

 Peyton with Aunt Carol and Laurie.

 We had an amazing time with my family.  It was hard to leave, but as they say, all good things must come to an end... our plane ride home was a lot different than the ride there.  Peyton was exhausted from the trip and {thank God!} he fell asleep as soon as we took off {but the flight was 1.5 hours late and then once we boarded, we sat there for 30 min.  Yeah, like I said, Thank GOD he finally fell asleep!}

 Too bad this didn't turn out better, but here's a pic of Peyton with the pilot at the very end of our wonderful trip!
