Post-Vacation Journal, now with pictures!!!
So me and JennyLou have been back from our vacation for a few days now. We stayed with her best friend's family in Nebraska and her mom's house in South Dakota. It was one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in a long, long time.
Jen's best friend has 4 great kids, and for someone like me who works all the time with emotionally disturbed and violent kids, it was wonderful to just sit on the floor and play with some cheerful little kids for a while. We're hoping to have a similar trip back out west in the fall. And now for some pictures...
This is me and Jenny on the back porch of her mom's house...
This is the falls in downtown Sioux Falls as taken from the observation tower...
Me in front of the falls...
This is Sammy; Jen's mom's dog. She's 14 years old and pretty awesome...
Jenny and her best friend Jammie forced me and Jammie's husband Shawn to play one of those lame "perfect match" dating board games aimed at 12 year old girls in the 80's. Here I am with Jammie, unhappily taking part...
We went to the zoo in Omaha, and it was pretty damned awesome. Zoos are more fun when you bring little kids along with you I've learned. This is the grizzly bear who was nice enough to look at my camera when I said "Hey Mr. Bear". I think he obliged because I did not yeall at him like a lot of really obnoxious people at the zoo seemed to do. I was polite, so he gave me a good picture...
And this is Jenny being cute by taking a picture of yours truly on one early morning. I was having a hard time because every day we were on vacation I was waking up at about the same time my body is used to going to sleep.
So, all around a good time out west. Any good stuff happen while we were gone? Any good vacation stories to share?
