Thanksgiving

We do Thanksgiving a little different each year. This year it was dinner at home and then a trip to Des Moines to take in a hockey game and do some ice skating. No shopping though. That would be insane. We are headed out to Ohana's Japanese Steakhouse for the cooking at your table experience for supper tonight.

We tried out the Wildwood hotel. It is meant to look like a lodge in the North country. It is really smack in the middle of West Des Moines.

I love 5 day weekends.

Omaha Zoo Trip

This spring Kelsey and Tim went to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha for an overnight 4-H trip. They spent the night behind glass by the monkees and gorillas. I am not sure who were the ones behind glass, the monkees or the people. Kelsey also saw this dancing polar bear.

It all started in Iowa

About a year ago, on 11/11, we were invited to a birthday party of a friend and state representative. We got the chance to meet the guest of honor, now our First Lady-elect.
