Snippets From The Horken House

The summer clothes have gradually transitioned into the jackets, sweaters and slacks.  It's actually been a very beautiful Fall.  We try hard not to think of what follows Fall.  My family from Georgia and Florida laugh when I say that we have moved south.  They think it's not south enough!!!  We may agree with them come January!!!

In the meantime we are feeling at home in Omaha and have even ventured out beyond our neighborhood.  We still choose to do so between the hours of 9:00 and 3:00 to avoid the traffic that we are not used to......yet!!! Our city kids laugh at us!

Here are some pictures to share our October activities:

Dave, Tim and Jagger enjoyed a weekend in Minneapolis at the Vikings Game.  It was a great time!!

Those are some serious fans!!

 

 

And to top it off, the Vikings won that day!!

Hannah (7) and Eliya (10) are painting their pumpkins at the Pumpkin Fesitval

 

Josiah, too!  (Age 8)

 

 Shooting pumpkins with Grandpa and Luigi.  Great fun!!  It was a perfectly beautiful day.

 

This is our Cub Scout all ready for his camp out.  Please don't ask Dave how cold it was that night  (and he was only assigned the 6:00-9:00 shift)!!

 

 

Dave found this great bike path around Zourinsky Lake.  Ed Zourinsky was a Senator from Nebraska.  This property is gorgeous....and get this.....it's only about five miles from the Oak View Mall!!  Who knew??

 

 

It's seven miles around the lake.  That's perfect for me and Dave can always go again because it's a perfect place to read a book.

 

 

It's always fun to have friends stop by.  This is Pam Schweisow from Le Mars.  We had a great chat and a "snack" (right, Pam) at Wheatfields!!

 

 

Dave got his pool table for his "man cave."  I will have to say that it is a lot of fun!!  I do think he practices in the middle of the night, however.  How else could he win ALL the time??  The kids (of all ages) love it, so it was worth it.

 

 

 

All Husker Fans have to take a break sometime.  Here's our Jagger Tait (age 10) during half time.

 

We've met some really nice people here so we are enjoying some fun get-togethers.  We also have checked out what is happening in the Omaha area.  LOTS is happening!!   

 

We are looking forward to seeing family and friends over the holidays.  If you are in our neighborhood (anytime), give us a call.  We'd love to see you.

 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,

 

David and Karol
