Nebraska

My mom's Aunt passed away last week, so we took a trip down to Nebraska on Sunday for the funeral. Although it was a sad event, Alec managed to have a wonderful time. He was delightful the entire trip. He woke up early on Sunday morning and then only slept for 40 minutes in the car on the way out, so we all figured he would be a mess by the time we got there. He surprised us though - I think the thrill of being in a new place (who knew the Days Inn Motel in Kimball NB could be so fun) and seeing all sorts of new people kept him happy. We took him over to the farm on Sunday night and he was in heaven - trucks galore and he got to take his first 3 wheeler ride. We got him back to the hotel and in bed by 7:30 and he didn't show his bright smile until 8:30 the next morning. Never in the history of Alec's life has he slept that late! His nap scheudle was off again on Monday, but he was a trooper - he was a little squirmy at the service, but was fine when we got to lunch and he could run around and flirt with all of the new people he met. And - he passed on the way back and seems to be back on track today. He definitely made the trip more light hearted and enjoyable for us. Now if only I could find a farm by my house to keep him entertained.
