Cabela’s

When the boys went to Cabela’s for camping supplies Jon saw and eyed an AWESOME french fry cutter.

He came home without it and then wished for weeks that he had bought it.

SO we took the children on a little adventure to Cabela’s to pick up the french fry cutter. They had lots of fun running around looking at everything. It’s a fun place to just walk around and look at all their stuffed animals and giant fish tank.

Skype

We got a Skype camera for the t.v. I LOVE seeing my nieces and nephews larger than life in my living room. 
Elli read us a book the last time we chatted with them. She is SO grown up. It shouldn’t surprise me, but it does.
I have a fixed memory of all my sweet nieces and nephews and seeing them changed and grown is sometimes shocking.
So we are loving this new way to see and visit with far away family.

Voting

We got early voting ballots this year, I have no idea why we haven’t done it this way before. It was so nice sitting in bed munching snacks, and chating, with all our voting info spread out. And the lap top to look up additional info as needed.

I especially loved not feeling rushed. In past voting experiences when I had to stand in line for a while, I always felt like I needed to get my ballot filled out ASAP so that those who were behind me in line were not waiting forever for me to finish.

So last night we voted while sitting in bed. This year I got to more thoroughly read up on everyone and everything, and make my informed choices from the comfort and convenience of home. We always read up on whats on the ballot, but it was so nice having everything at our fingertips to re-reference as needed. It was the best voting experience so far.

Remember to VOTE!!!
