Vala's Pumpkin Patch

After the soccer game, Samantha, Michelle, Grandma Nancy, Great Aunt Janet, and cousin Bryan all went to Vala's Pumpkin Patch in Gretna. It was a hot and windy day, but they made it to most of the good stuff! They stopped for a carmel apple and popcorn and water before they left the grounds and that helped to refresh Michelle a little bit! Samantha was tired and didn't take a nap until they dropped off Janet & Bryan at their house. Samantha, showing that she's not quite 3 ft tall yet!

Sam & Daddy at the Zoo

Last weekend, I took Sam to the Zoo to get out of Michelle's hair. We only planned to be gone for a few hours, but it turned into 4 hours. We walked to the Seals and they were getting fed, so Samantha loved watching that. She was handful by myself, but we had fun!

Huskers Survive!

Sam and Michelle stayed home and watched the game on TV while I went to Lincoln to watch the Huskers. Michelle took some pictures of Sam during the game.

Sam thought this game was unbearable!
She had to have Jasmine (her cabage patch doll) pose with her!
Yeah! We won!
