This is the kids posing at the Liberty Bell at Antelope park, which is just down the road from our house. The neat thing about this park is this is where, when I was a kid, my family use to meet on Thanksgiving. Everyone from all over would come and we would have the biggest feast. Even though they have not done that in the last few years I am hoping that they will do it this year!

Could not resist taking a picture of this! This was just on the other side of the Missouri River as we crossed back from Iowa!

This is the beautiful sunset I was talking about! You can not really get an idea on how big it really is though from this picture. My battery was very low and we were traveling down a highway so really not a good picture.

I am not sure what the story is behind this. We had to stop as we crossed back into Nebraska to let Heather go potty we found this on the way in to the park. It is all made from bicycles, and not just old ones!

This the bridge crossing the Missouri River into Iowa. The white building you see on the middle left hand side is the toll booth, one dollar to cross each way. It is a pretty long bridge!

Heather flying her new Pokemon kite! finally she had been saving it until she had a good opportunity to fly it. The lake you see behind them is Pony Lake. It was a cute little man made lake that I think we will come back to this summer.

Now that is a SLIDE! I want one! This house was not the only one to have one though! The kids thought it was a park.

Hunter and I playing in the car while Heather and Heath were off flying a kite. Notice the new smile? I got my teeth fixed finally!

Heather so proud of her new kite! You can't really tell but it IS A POKEMON kite!

They are setting the kite up getting ready to fly!

Sitting here, patiently waiting for the two mushers to get into Safety (Mackey and King), Mackey has a ten mile lead and if he can hold it, he should take the race but it has bene a great race between these two mushers for the past several hundred miles. Loved the pictures, that is the Bell that I want for the campground! How securely is it fastened to the concrete? Wow, we could wak up the entire twon when we rang it! Between our house and the HITW, we have almost enough bikes to make a "modern art piece". Great picture of you and Hunter, he takes pictures so well, should be a model! Last but not least, the slide that you have been seeing, I can see that you need to visit a few farms. Those are grain/corn vaccum hoses for loading or transfering grain from trucks to storage or vice versa. The concept of a water slide is good though!
thanks for the pictures.
