I had a baby this week so I indulged in a banana split with extra peanuts.
And my sweet husband surprised me during our getaway day trip to Omaha by taking me out for sushi! He sat bravely trying not to look or barf while I ate and I enjoyed every second of it!
Mmmmm.

I can hardly believe it’s been a year since our last county fair! We took the whole family this time. With exception of the roosters Lily had fun seeing the award winning animals this year.
Last year…not so much fun.

I just wanted to get out of the house on Wednesday so we headed to Fremont, about 45 miles from us, to Splash Station to do some swimming. It was actually a very nice pool with slides for little and big kids. The girls were a bit crabby on the way but once we got there we had a really good time. It was in the upper 80s and I have to admit the spray coming off the slides was chilling, I’m such a wimp!

This is the same one I did last year. I will have brewing supplies and some of my beer too. They have some more quality microbrews this year, so I am excited. Here is the press release:
Help choose the best beer in Nebraska at the 2nd annual Neihardt Foundation Beer Festival, Saturday, July 31, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Country Pub in Bancroft. Participants can vote on the best Nebraska-brewed craft beer provided at the festival, as well as the best overall brew. More than a dozen craft breweries and distributors will offer 20-plus styles of unique lagers and ales. A local home brewer, the Rev. Philip Hale, will be on hand to explain the craft. Appetizers and an auction of beer-related items round out the activities.
