Hiking at Pioneers Park

Lincoln is a great community filled with so many great things for families to do together. While many of those things are costly, Pioneers Park is something to be enjoyed for free. There is a playground, lakes filled with geese and ducks and turtles, and lots of trails along which to hike. The kids love to run around, and there are plenty of sticks out of which to make swords, canes, and magic wands.

I mistakenly thought that Colby wanted to take a photo with Brody at the park's pillars. Instead, he ended up pantsing the poor kid. No matter the trauma it might cause, I have to post the photo. It's just too funny not to.



Soren brought her camera, although I'm pretty sure she was too busy talking to take any photos. Colby always says that between her mouth and Brody's mouth we have to wear hip waders because the shit gets so deep.



As usual, Evelyn brought her model poses along to the park.



The boys had so much fun just playing with sticks. Who even needs toys? Dade had one of his trusty pocket knives along to carve off the ends or cut weeds or whatever.



After a little bit of hiking, the kids started to complain that they were so thirsty and tired and hungry. By a little bit I mean an hour. They couldn't go one hour without needing a freaking snack. As such, we packed up and headed to the little ice cream store nearby. Yum yum.
