Nebraska, Scottsbluff July 5 - 12

Scottsbluff, Nebraska is always on our summer route so that we can spend time with Kay's Dad as well as other family and friends.  The Riverside Zoo Campground in Scottsbluff is a great place to base.  It's nice and quiet except when the lions roar but we love that.

Francine and Orin are standing next to Orin's 59 Chevy hardtop.  We got to spend quite a bit of time with them this visit.  It was so awesome to have this time together.

Kay's Dad out for supper and a visit.

Marty loves the chance to get to mow Dad's lawn with his riding mower.

View looking SE from Dad's yard.

It's sad to see the place you grew up in such bad shape.  Sure have lots of great memories though.

View from the top of Scottsbluff National Monument.

Took the dogs for a walk on the Monument.  It was pretty hot that day so we didn't walk too far.

Our visit this year was sad because Kay's uncle Buzz passed away but we did get to see him before and were able to be here with family for the funeral.  This picture is of his daughter Cathy and his Great Grandson, Jett.

Here's Jett again with Kay's Aunt Carol.

Family lunch before the funeral.  From left to right is Patrick, uncle Buzz's son, John Edwards, Uncle Bob's grandson, Mike, Dan and Kathy.

One stop at Rosita's was in order.  This is their poncho'.  Love the chips and salsa here.

Outside Rosita's left to right is Mike, Dad, Kay and Dan.
