Trip to Nebraska

Here are some fun pictures from our trip to Nebraska last weekend! We spent the first couple of days with Justin, Jill and our nephew Grant (8 mos). He is just the cutest!

Grant in his bouncer... it was hilarious! He would bounce in this thing until he fell asleep!
I thought this was cute... Grant reaching for my camera.

Grant with his uncle Bryce.

All of the trees were in bloom in Lincoln. I had to take a few fun shots with my SLR.

My parent's new dog, Casie in the backyard. She is 3 1/2 years old. We thought she was a perfect blend of Baylee and Annie.

We also ran the Lincoln Half Marathon. It was a beautiful day, about 55 degrees at the start. The course was really fun and we saw a lot of people we knew. I never remembered Lincoln being so hilly growing up, but apparently I've been in flat Houston too long. The hills were insane!! I downloaded the elevation chart from my Garmin and the hills were actually fairly similar to those in the San Francisco half marathon. The steepest hill in SF was still a bit steeper than Lincoln, but overall the sum of the elevation changes was very similar to that of SF.

Despite all the hills, I tied of personal record (PR) of 2:00. I was hoping to break my PR, but I also didn't expect all the hills. Bryce did awesome, he broke his PR and by ~50 seconds and ended up ~1:53. I couldn't believe all the crowd support, there were TONS of people cheering us on the entire 13.1 miles. I'd definitely run it again... but train for hills more. :)
