We stopped in Paxton, Nebraska for lunch at Ole's Big Game Bar and Grill... oh the memories. When I was a kid, we (my mom, dad, sister and I) would drive to Colorado to ski over Spring Break with my Aunt Debby, Uncle Al, and my cousins Andy and Maddy. I can't even remember a trip that didn't include a stop to Ole's for lunch (usually following a visit to Cabela's). In case you can't tell from the picture, it's full of mounted animals that Ole himself shot. It's also famous for their Rocky Mountain Oysters (delicious in case you've never tried them). So I talked everyone into stopping at Ole's for lunch so I could relive some childhood memories. Arabella loved it. She walked around looking at every single animal and deciding which animals were scary and which were cute. She decided her favorite animal was this little baby seal under the paw of this ten foot polar bear. We even looked at all the old black and white pictures and finally found the picture of my Uncle Al playing football for Nebraska (Go Big Red!) so that I could show Arabella. She was very proud and decided that Uncle Al is famous.
We finally saw mountains and felt like there was an end in sight. Once we got there, we relaxed at our hotel for a little while, then headed over for a family BBQ at the Thomas' House.
I'll post more pictures and tell you more about our wonderful family vacation tomorrow!
Here's a preview... Garden of the Gods, Air Force Academy, a golf champion, and TONS of family pictures!
