 I think Betsy was deciding which swather to buy
 She loves dogs and well, they love her
She loves holding babies and well, they love it too.  With Ezra, that's what happens if someone says "cheese"...

A Trip to Nebraska

 Ron and I both made a trip to Lincoln Nebraska to meet Griffin Garner!
What a sweetie!
 He sleeps like his Grandpa!
 I love holding a newborn baby.
 Heather and Ephraim are doing a great job with their Three boys!
 Max and Ezra liked Grandpa's computer.
Life can be very tiring evidently.
 We took a trip on Saturday with Ephraim and the boys to the Nebraska State Fair!
 Lots of great animals in the petting zoo.
Cheeeeeeese!
The boys loved the straw maze (and it was free)
Being Nebraska, there were lots and lots of animals.  We even saw the biggest steer in Nebraska, he would fill several freezers.
Looks like he's got farming in his blood.
Ezra seemed game at first, but before it was over, he just put his head down and waited for it to be over.  Max seems pretty fearless.
They were brave and had fun.
Max was the only one willing to ride the camel.  He loved it all.
Looking like Lawrence of Arabia



This was the ride that Ezra preferred.  Happy boy!
Max rode the big slide all by himself, Ezra rode down with his Dad
They're up there.
Watching Nascar race and chillin with Griffin and Ezra.
He was very happy just hangin (sleeping) with Gma.
Picking books for their nightly story time.
Proud papa.
Ginger loves Daddy too.
Ezra is helping Gpa get it right.
They love story time, Gpa liked it as well.
"I love you Daddy!"
This is the control center of the plant where Eph works.  He monitors multiple screens and makes sure nothing blows up.  (my own assessment of the job at hand, but it's much more, I'm sure)
Very cool facility, turning atmosphere into separated compressed gases.
Showing his Mom around the plant.  Hardhats and protective eyewear required. 
He made sure I didn't touch any of the controls.
Where the gas gets separated and compressed (I think)
