The Road to Nebraska

Some people might think we're crazy, but we drove to Nebraska this past week with Camden! One of my best friends, Alison (also who introduced Toby & me) was getting married and Cam had never met several of his NE relatives. So we headed out Wednesday night after work and drove to northern Kansas and finished the drive Thursday morning. Camden did great! We got to spend some time in Lincoln visiting Toby's sweet fam and Toby was thrilled to get an invite to Husker football practice for the day. One of his former basketball players is a star running back for Nebraska! On Friday, I headed to Omaha early in the morning to begin wedding festivities and Toby, Camden, Mimi, and Grampa followed later that day. Mimi and Grampa were ever so kind to come to Omaha to be our on site babysitters! Camden loved spending time with them and we were so glad to be able to enjoy the events knowing Cam was in good hands. The wedding was AMAZING and it was so much fun to be with my girlfriends! Congrats to Alison and JR!!! We were a little nervous about the 11 hour drive home (since we had to do it all in one day), but Cam was incredible! He was such a trooper through it all and seemed to be in heaven when we finally got home and he got out of the car seat. He immediately giggled, squealed, and wiggled all over! We had a great weekend and Camden loved his first of many trips to come to Nebraska!

Here are some pics from the wedding festivities...

And here are a few pics of what Camden did this weekend...




Happy to see his "Auntie" Lauren...hands in the mouth mean he is happy! :)

Hanging out with the Hemje boys...wish we would have gotten a pic with all 5 of them! Amy & Jeff amaze me with 4 boys...I think Cam loved watching his cousins.

Lunch with cousin Drew~again we missed out on pics, but he also met his Aunt Marcia, Uncle Tim, and cousins Ali, Holly, and Dylan in Lincoln.

Eating with Mimi~Again no good pics with Mimi and Grampa, but they were a HUGE help! Camden loved his time with them!



THRILLED to not be in a car seat

This is what we did during our rest stops...Camden loved to be outside!

These are just a few of the toys we took a long to entertain him. :)

Sweet boy fell asleep holding his daddy's hand...precious!
