Who's In? Georgia Tech, Nebraska and Arkansas all Featured!

In the pretty cool ESPN commercial advertising the new play-off GT, Nebraska and Arkansas were all featured.   Arkansas and Georgia Tech seem to be much cooler than the bouncing on his had 'lil red Farmer but something is better than nothing I guess!

A Bird Takes a Ride

We were fascinated by this dove the kept riding the gate by sitting on it.  Normally, these guys are scaredy birds but this guy wouldn't fly away.  We actually went through a 2nd time so we could capture it on video!

A "Capitol" View

In our last hours of our time in Nebraska we went up to the top of the capitol building. Commonly referred to as the "penus on the prairie", the Nebraska State Capitol is by far the tallest building in Lincoln and offers commanding views of the city.

Jack's Homework Station

Jack's homework for his first full week of school was to create his own "homework place"

Mission Accomplished.   With the exception of a little desk lamp which he still needs!

Ice Bucket Challenge!

Elle wanted no part in the challenge.  The rest of us, however, were game.

Birthday Report and a Pizza Star

Jack finally scored a birthday present courtesy of Aunt Jasper, Mimi and Grandpa and Granny...and some of his own savings and a lot of patience!

It will go nicely with another walker he received from his Aunt Anne!













In other news, I made the moon and star pizza last night to celebrate the end of the first week of school for them!

Yogurt or Pasta...another Lost Video Emerges

Elle makes it very clear...over and over which she prefers!    Here taste is good... that pre-packaged pre-made pasta for babies is not very good.

Waning Days of Summer Hodgepodge

 We stumbled across this pooch a few days ago and he reminded of one of the best dogs ever so we had to pet him.

Waffles with Vermont's finest syrup.   Grade B!

 

Zoomed Supermoon shot from the grainy digital zoom of the iPhone!

Washing the South side of Northern Facing Cattle!

Not a job I'd be that excited about...Scenes from the State Fair!

Motorcycle Smash And Crash - A Short Movie!

Jack and Bill produced a short movie during our visit.  Motorcycle Smash & Crash.   There was an admission price to get in (as you would expect with Jack involved!)  The premier sold out and here it is presented for free!

Enjoying the State Fair (on the back of a bear)

Dumbo and a Stagecoach??

We're taking full advantage of our sabbatical with lots of little trips to match our bigger ones. Here's a snap from the state fair and another from wine tasting at Cooper Vineyards.

Happy Kids! Coronado Beach

One of the best vacations ever... probably from all of our perspectives!

OzCon International

Can you believe that OzCon is upon us again!
