Our Trip to Grandma and Grandpa Swedburgs

.... all in words because on the way home I was messing around with the camera and reformatted the hard drive on the disk and erased all the pictures.

I'm super pissed and I don't want to talk about it.

We left Friday around 4 got to my dad's around 9:30 mom came and picked up Kevin and we all went to bed!
The next morning Papa made an amazing breakfast and we started to get ready to leave for the Swedburg farm when Ara got out her hula-hoop and I just had to try it and when I went to swing the hula-hoop I smacked Chasen in the nose and gave him his first ever bloody nose.
it was awful.
about 15min later we left.

we got to the farm around high noon and Uncle Scott, great aunt monte, and grandma and grandpa were outside smoking ribs in the smoker.
We ate roast beef sandwiches for lunch
and burnt sugar cake...which was amazing.
Grandma surprised Ean (and I) with tickets to the first Husker game for his birthday!

after lunch we put on our play clothes and went outside in the blazing heat to run through the sprinkler, ride several rides on the gator and chase frogs.
Chasen really enjoyed riding on the gator and asked several times to go on rides!
of course his auntie Lissy took him as many times as he wanted because he has her wrapped around his finger. its sickening ;)

Dada helped Chasen catch a frog and he did really good with it and didn't squish it.
I had the cutest video of him and the weird noise he made at it when trying to catch it and the way he squirmed when he held it, but didn't really want to hold it, but wanted to hold it really bad. It was super cute. But of course I can't show you it.

We also went and saw the horses and fed them an ear of corn we picked out of the field.

I forget how in Nebraska we have to irrigate our corn and have those large sprinklers in the fields. In Iowa we get so much rain I don't think people irrigate as much if at all.
I of course took some cute photos of chasen in the corn with his husker romper on.

Then we all went inside to get a break from the heat and
bet on some horse racing.
the caskeys didn't win :(

Chasen rode his first horse with mama.
It was the horse that I showed in 4-H about 10 years ago!
It goes without saying that Im super sad to have lost those photos :(

Dinner was ready we cooked hot dogs over the fire at ribs, potato salad and beans all out side with ice cold Coors light! mmmmmm mmmmmm :)

Then we has smores!
Great aunt monte makes the perfect marshmallow.
of course I had a picture of their perfect brownness.

The night ended with wine on the porch in what turned out to be the most perect night it was so cool and relaxing. Unlike the heat earlier that day.

In the morning we were treated to banana blueberry bread and breakfast casserole!
Then we headed to my moms house for more fire and food!
