Snippets From The Horken House

I just checked my last post and it's been two months already!!  Everyday is always so full.  We wouldn't have it any other way.

It was a beautiful day and David and I decided to take our bikes to Ed Zorinski Lake in west Omaha.  Click on the video:  (It may take a few minutes to load.)

  
David had to stop on the bike path because it looked like the deer were going to zip across the path.  They stopped to pose for me and then decided to retreat.

David and I enjoyed an afternoon of fishing with Josiah (top) and Jagger (bottom).  The fish weren't really biting but it was fun to try.

Now what is this?  Yes, you guessed right.  It is the red carpet at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.  We volunteered with Josiah's class and enjoyed taking a tour of the Stadium.  The kids got to run out on the field.  They were so pumped!!   Oh, and did I tell you that we saw Tom Osborn in the hallway??

Just being out there on the field was so exciting!!

The students got to view the Legislature in session while touring the Capital building! David and I were impressed! It made us feel like true Nebraskans.

We have connected with five couples in our neighborhood who recently moved here on "Grandparent Watch."  We decided to get together at least once a month to chat and have a few laughs.....okay, more than a few!!

Stephanie has now become an official "Cheer Mom" for Eliya and Hannah's Athletic Cheer team.  They walked in a parade last Saturday.  Stephanie made the t-shirts for the whole team.

Here's David on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.  You can walk or bike from Nebraska across to Iowa on this bridge.  Yes, right over the Mighty Mo!  It's a lot safer than I even imagined so I was okay! We walked it and now we are planning to bike across it.

Here's another view!

Stepping across Nebraska and into Iowa (and back again).

Our Small Group from church had a picnic to end the year.  We'll join up again in September.  We been so encouraged and learned so much these last few months--and we have had a lot of laughs together!!

That's the recap from the Horken House.  Hope you are all looking forward to a fun summer.  Come see us when you can!

Love, David and Karol
