Memorial Day Weekend

This past week we have had Brent's dad, Steve, stay with us. While sometimes trying, :) , we still had a good time. While he was here we traveled to Kansas City, Missouri for Brent to deliver a presentation. Brent did an excellent job (of course) and actually got tons of praise from one of the most respected historians in the country. We are very proud of him!!!

This weekend kicked off our crazy summer of research trips for Brent's dissertation. We counted and out of 14 weekends, we will be out of town 9 of them... craziness... but tons of fun too. Keagan and I get to tag along and sightsee!

Here are some pictures of this past week and our travels!

In the hotel room, trying to crawl on the bed... he is getting so close, but for now he just likes to do "downward facing dog" alot!

Getting ready to go to the pool!!

First time swimming! He loves his floaty!! He is so dang cute in it too!

He loves the water! Which is excellent because I plan on taking him to the pool frequently this summer!!

Goofing around in the hotel room!

View from our window. That is the Kansas City Royals stadium on the right and the Chiefs on the left. Too bad its not football season and the Royals weren't in town....

Liberty Memorial - World War I Museum.
It was a very cool museum. It is the only World War I museum in the country. If you are ever in the Kansas City area, it is worth seeing.

Walking up to the memorial...

View of Union Station and downtown K.C. from the Liberty Memorial. They were preparing for a live symphony performance in front of Union Station and then fireworks in honor of Memorial Day. Sadly, we had to get back to Lincoln and couldn't see it!

3 Generations - Very cool...

Coolest baby around! What a stud!

Sorry about the necessity to turn your head... thought I fixed this....
This is inside the museum. It was a very impressive place!

On the drive home. Brent and I had to giggle because I think that we have a picture like this on EVERY road trip that we take. The only thing that changes is our hair... too funny!

Family swim day!!! So fun!

This weekend was tons of fun. Brent and I would highly recommend traveling to Kansas City. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back and explore some more!!
