July 2026
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

9-21-11 Nebraska

by Jacob

Last Monday around 7:30 we left for Nebraska. We had breakfast in the van, and we stopped for lunch at a little park. We arrived at our cabin at 4:30 or so. It took awhile to unload. When we were done unloading, we went down to the lake that was in our backyard and walked around it. By that time it was supper time. We had hotdogs and grapes for supper. After supper we went to a big walking bridge across the Platte River. Then we came back to the cabin. We took showers, did Bibletime, watched a few dvds, and then went to bed. Tuesday we were up at 7:30, had breakfast, and then went to the zoo. We spent all day there and had supper at Gambionis Pizza. We came back to the cabin at 7:30 and took showers, and then did Bibletime. We had a snack and then watched a couple dvds before bed. Wednesday morning we had breakfast and then went to Ak sar ben aquarium. Then that afternoon we went to the zoo. Thursday morning we went to Cabela’s. We went to a big walking bridge across the Missouri River. It had rained a bunch in the previous weeks so the river was really high. There were whirlpools one foot in diameter in the really fast part. Then we went to a little museum. We had supper at a spaghetti house which had very good food. We came back to the cabin and went fishing. Then we had hamburgers for supper. Friday morning we left for home at 9:00 A.M. and got home at 4:30. We had frozen pizza for supper that evening. It was a very fun vacation.
