Weekend in North Platte

Zach and I were on spring break from school this week.  We like to spend part of our break at my parents' house since we have the time to do it.  It's nice to have them all to ourselves.  We drove to North Platte on Saturday morning.  That afternoon, Monroe would not fall asleep, so Grandpa laid with her.  They fell asleep together.

While Monroe napped, my mom and I went antiquing.  We went to two shops that we had been to before, but we wanted to go somewhere new.  We got directions to a store out in the sandhills southeast of town.  When we got there, we were fascinated by their set up.  The antiques are in 16 restored silos.  You walk on the boardwalk to get to each, and they are all filled with different antiques.  It was a fun experience.

That night we went to see the high school production of Wizard of Oz.  It didn't start until 7:30, so it was a late night for Monroe.  It was a great show!  



The weather was beautiful the next day.  We played outside a lot.


Then, we went for a walk.  My parents live a mile from the interstate.  We walked there and waved at the semis as they passed underneath us.  Monroe loved when they honked back.  

Monroe loved Grandma's wooden puzzles.  They were perfect for her age.  One time, we dumped them all to see if she could match the right pieces to each puzzle.

 That night Grandma and Monroe made cookies.
My mom and I went shopping the next morning, and then we headed back to GI after lunch.  We had a great time with my parents.
