Hotlantic!

Last weekend we went to Atlantic where my brother-in-law Bret's amazing family lives. . . We left Fargo at 3:00 on Friday and arrived around 10:00pm. We ate dinner in the car and Aimee stopped at the cafeshowercasino to go to the bathroom. Saturday morning took the girls to Walnut, Iowa to an antique walk (5K right Aimee?) I bought kettlecorn, everyone else came home with some kind of trinket. . . and the boys were off to Omaha to see the College World Series. Ryan got asked if he played football for Iowa State and he said yes, some guy also asked Randy if he "could still take him" the guy thought Ryan was Randy's son, wonder why :) They also had two girls behind them that the affectionately nicknamed Michelle and Aimee. . . think youngest child, blond college students if you don't know Michelle and Aimee :-) We then met up for dinner in Omaha which is where the pictures begin. . .

The Adults---- Chris, Fran, Jill, Randy


The "Kids" ---- Ryan, Leanne, Aimee, Michelle, Bret, Katie

So if you know me, you know that I am not scared of heights, nor am I scared of water but for some reason bridges scare the crap out of me! Yes that is right, the crap out of me. Ryan decided that it would be good for me to get over my fear and walk across this bridge but I was not convinced.

Ryan doing his best to get me to conquer my fear. . .
The rest of the group walking in the middle (Bret is in Yellow and Ryan is in Red) after I mysteriously disappeared :) (more like hightailed it the other way as soon as Ryan took his eyes off me)

The people that I raced back to sit with and watch the kids play in the fountain. . . (my dad is in the red with the white hat)
needless to say, good try Ryan, I am glad you were in two states at once, I still don't like bridges.
Thank you to Jill & Randy who let us stay at their house and fed us absolutely wonderful food! We are blessed that you are part of our family! And of course, we LOVE spending us some time with the Whites and the Muscavegas Eukens :-) :-)
