Last weekend was another trip to the midwest for a wedding in Manhattan, Kansas, and a visit to the Severin farm in Nebraska. Thanks to Frontier airlines, there was also some extreme shopping for formal wear, since our luggage with missing in action when we arrived in Kansas City with no indicators of where it was and when it would arrive. This is also after probably the worst flight I’ve been on, Summer and I both nearly got sick on the Tucson to Denver leg. I did not take any pictures of the wedding, and only a few at the reception; the camera was mostly put to use on the few days spend in The Good Life State.

As I said, we flew into Kansas City and stayed the night there. Summer’s mom and younger sister drove down to join us and ended up running us around to a department store to find something to wear. The next morning we drove to Manhattan for the wedding, and stayed the night there. The next morning we drove to Lincoln where we stayed up flying out of Omaha Wednesday.

The farm looked quite a bit different than last November. Corn!

This is Rocky, who adopted the farm and family, and Monkey’s evil twin.

We visited the zoo where Summer used to work.

The botanical gardens adjacent to the zoo.

We went fishing in a lake near the farm, and didn’t catch much of anything. Summer’s dad caught two small catfish not worth keeping and also snagged some weird kind of turtle.

We also visited the capital building, which is the second tallest in the United States.

All the pics are here.
