My dad told Greg he could take the motorcycle out any time while we were there. So, Greg took me for a ride and it was way cool! Then it was Brandy's turn! She liked it as well!
Ashley came over!! Man! She is growing up SO fast! She actually is driving now! It was soooo nice to get to see her, even if it was for a couple hours.

I totally forgot!!

Wednesday evening we asked my brother out to dinner. We went to Famous Daves which is YUM - to say the least! I called to arrange for us to pick him up so we could see how he has settled into the new place. When we got there, I walked around the car to go to his front door and stumbled across something I had totally forgotten about!
You see, years earlier we lived in the same house. Brandy was only 1 year old. I don't recall the whole story, but my dad had poured concrete in part of the sidewalk entry way. He said that I was trying to write with my finger Brandy's name and the day's date, but was having a hard time so he found a stick to use. This was on November 22, 1995!!! WOAH!! Talk about a blast from the past!
Brandy thought it was so awesome!


Getting ahead of myself...

OOPS! I forgot two stories!

We found a General Lee!!!!! Greg HAD to get a picture of course. The couple sitting in the chair in the background thought it was so funny that we just randomly stopped and took a few pictures. Could we have given it away that we were tourists?!?! LOL




After the toy museum we went to eat at the American Bandstand Cafe. It was cool to see the horror on Brandy's face when she saw the clothes and style of dancing back in the 70's and 80's!! HAHA!!! Looking back is so awesome!!






Branson, MO Visit

So we survived our 1st night and the beginning of the day. Toy museum was so cool. Then we headed down to Branson Landing (I think that's what it is called). There was a lot of shopping along a mile stretch. I actually found Nebraska embellishments for scrap booking!! (Yes, there was a scrapbook/greeting cards shop ha!)
As we meandered down the way, we stopped at Ben and Jerry's to indulge in some yummy ice cream treats! It was extremely hot and humid so a refresher would be nice! Brandy and I opted out of ice cream and ordered a raspberry green tea with lemonade. It was SO good! Greg ordered fudge and Jeremy got a cone with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. You would think if we stopped at an ice cream parlor we would all get ice cream!!! We are weird like that I suppose.
We didn't even make it the full mile, but we were side tracked by a water/fire display. Of course we didn't stay long enough for the show to start, because we were all tired. So instead we walked on the waterfront. It was nice when the wind would blow from the water, it was a tad bit cooler!
As we were on our way to a hotel, we decided to just start driving again. Of course we had plans to visit a few more museums, but the kids voted to just get close to Omaha.
We thought if we drove to Kansas City, MO., we could find something to do there and check in to a hotel for the night. By the time we got close to Kansas, we figured that since we were only 4 hours away from our destination we would just keep driving! Here are some of the views along the way.
