Memorial Stadium, County Fair...

We were planning to get football tickets this year, but sadly we will miss the whole season. On Saturday we visited the stadium, and it was really cool.


Nebraska's trophies

On the far wall there was this huge tile and glass waterfall that fell in front of the 'N' down the wall. It was really cool. I didn't get it all in the pic. There were rocks at the bottom of the waterfall...not such a good idea with 4 year old boys. We were looking at all the displays and Damon was out of our sight for literally one second when we heard a loud crack. Yep, he threw one of the rocks at the GLASS waterfall display. How did it not shatter, crack, or show any sign of damage? Mystery to us...oh my little boy...(I still feel like I might have a heart attack every time I think about it).


One of the practice/weight rooms in the stadium.

And, the field...





Glad we were able to go.


After the stadium, we went to the Lancaster County Fair.

They had a petting zoo, animal rides, animal contests and races, a carnival, flea market, displays, and food. It ended up getting pretty toasty outside, so we did not stay too long, but it was fun to get the kids out and be able to do something.

Massive train set.

Carnival

Da went on one ride, the racing cars! Jo was too little.

Sweet, patient boy.



Lovin the animals!


They had duck races...

...and deep fried delights!

Kyle wanted to try the chocolate chip cookie dough-and it was actually pretty good!

We got really overheated and had to miss Daryl's racing pigs...maybe next time! :)

What a fun stadium! I can't believe how big Jo is looking Reese. I am so excited to kiss his cheeks in about a week! :)
