Not many people 'vacation' in Nebraska, we normally don't vacation there as much as visit. But this summer we tried something new with my family; we rented a mini-lodge (house) at Ponca State park in northeast NE and enjoyed an extra long weekend together.
The house was plenty large for our family that continues to grow....another grand-baby on the way...hopefully another sister-in-law someday, but I am not holding my breath. ;)
The weather was quite nice- cool enough that we could spend a lot of time outside and our trip was early enough in the season there were no bugs!!
We were all pleasantly surprised by the lovely woodlands shooting range in the park where we tried archery, tomahawks, pellet guns, shotguns, and riffles. I had never actually shot a gun, and tend to be against them in most settings, but I had a great time trying them out in a controlled environment where nothing was going to die because of my arrow/bullet. There was also horseback riding, bird watching, hiking, and a family 5K run that Uncle B won!
The 3 granddaughters had a great time exploring the park. If you click on the picture, you can spend some time exploring our pictures of our lovely Nebraska Vacation.
