A Trip to Lincoln (in February): Part 2

Our time in Lincoln was short, as always.  We spent time playing with the cousins, holed up at and Grandmas during a snow storm and got to have lunch with the ladies (Fortune Palace!) and play with my friends (Maggie!).

This is apparently one of the only pictures I took with the cousins.  Grant liked P's animal sounds book.

 Grandpa bought doughnuts for breakfast one morning.  They were yummy.

 Mostly P had fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa.  Grandpa and P played games every night at dinner.  It went something like this:  P would look at Grandpa and smirk.  Grandpa would scream loudly at P when she least expected it to scare her.  She would usually look like she was about to cry, but then laugh.  She loved that game.  

 Penelope also liked to cuddle with Grandma.  P willingly went to Grandma for big hugs when we first got there.  They were fast friends the whole time we were there.  Here's to the next visit!

A Trip to Lincoln (in February): Part 1

Right after my birthday Penelope and I ditched Dave for about 10 days to drive down to Lincoln and see my parents.  Here is what we did in pictures.  In reality, I'm missing pictures for most of what we did, though.

We stopped at Cracker Barrel in Des Moines on the way to Lincoln, where P discovered a love for the peg game.  The toddler version includes taking the tees out and putting them back in again.

 We went shoe shopping at Gateway mall with grandma--where P went for a ride with a mouse and got to play at the mall playground.

 P visited the Lincoln Children's Museum, where she happily soaked herself in water,

 crawled through the tunnels (with Shelby right behind),

 posed for a pic on the big chair,

 played some Husker volleyball,

 cheered for the Huskers,

 gave Lil' Red a high five,

 drove a fire truck, honked the horns, and blared the sirens,

and rode a motorcycle with Mom.

We went to the museum with Marisa and Grant as well, but don't have any pictures of them.  Too bad.  We also went to Doozy's for lunch afterwards.  I forgot how good that place is!
