After WAY too long, we finally made it back out to Mills Nebraska to visit my Aunt Judy and Uncle Steve. We were SO fortunate that when we got there on Sunday, ALL of their girls were home. We had so much fun. The girls (kinda) helped Aunt Judy feed the calves in the morning and evening. They also got to pick eggs! Steve and I got to pick the guitar and Fiddle (Boiling the Cabbage). Eric and I explored the family farm on our mountain bikes. The landscape is so Amazing for cycling - just look out for goathead sand burrs. They are tire poppers - as we both found out - fortunately at the very end of two days of riding. It is hard to pick a highlight, but it had to be the lunch outing at the cabin on the stream. Talk about serene!

We all went down to see where the storm had washed out the bridge. To our privelage it had created a little "beach area" We played for hours. Better than the Carribean!!
Leann was a little hesitant to go outside after we saw a native prairie resident in the driveway.
Uncle Eric made sure Hudson got the full experience.
Sherry was running the milk parlor on Monday night to give Anna time with us! Paige got a thrill out of the whole operation.
Picking Eggs was a MAJOR highlight. Every morning we enjoyed eggs! There is no comparison in flavor to these tasty orbs.
The cabin by the stream was AMAZING!
It took allot of courage, but Marina FINALLY touched a baby chicken.
Eric and Jen "Hanging Out" - or acting like nuts.
Anna was just reeling them IN! All of the kids got a chance to fel a largemouth bass on the end of their line.

Hi folks, It was fun to check in with you tonight. It looks like you were having a great time. It was fun to see Sherry doing the milking chores. What a cute crew you have. We look forward to having Lisa home for Chugwater. Linda
