My cousin Tom, his wife Jennifer and their girls Emily and Bridget visited us form Moncton for a few days and we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving.
We had a great time and did a little site-seeing while they were here. On their first day we toured the mansion and grounds of J. Sterling Morton, who was the father of Arbor Day. The house is located in Nebraska City, a small town about an hour east of here, right on the banks of the Missouri River overlooking Iowa.
We had dinner at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City that evening.
We sat in the sunroom and had a drink while we waited or the dining room to open.
The next day I took the girls to the Sunken Garden, a city park near our house. It was the city dump until it was made into this garden in the 1930's.
Sunday to the Children's Zoo, also close to our house, and saw many exhibits including our famous penguins.
Thank you Bridget, Emily, Jennifer and Tom for coming to see us. It was wonderful to see you and the first of hopefully many trips to Nebraska!
