Dinner with Kyle!

Last night, one of Andy's college roommates was in Kearney for a Math conference. (Normally, he resides in Lincoln.) Since Kearney is an hour away, we all decided to meet for supper. There was a great BBQ place right by Kyle's hotel, so we ate there. "Skeeter Barnes" was the place - and we had eaten there once before in Council Bluffs, and were disappointed - but this one was outstanding! Highly recommended!
Here's a shot of Kyle and Alex after supper: (No, that was NOT a high chair!) :)
After supper we drove around for a while and then decided to get some dessert. We stopped at Cold Stone and that was super delicious! Kyle had never been there before, but I think it's now a favorite for him - I know we love it! :)
Then we drove around to look at some of the tornado damage from last week. There were anywhere between 4-6 tornadoes that blew through last Thursday, so we went around and saw a LOT of tree branches down, lots of store signs that were blown to pieces, and then the Buffalo County fairgrounds......
Amazingly, there were NO deaths throughout the entire thing - I can't imagine trying to pick up the pieces once everything you have has been destroyed.
Anyway, on a happier note- after the drive we went to Kyle's hotel room so Alex could run around for a while and we could change him into his pajamas. Alex was WIRED! We had Alex's soft baseball with us, and Alex and Kyle played HARD! I have never seen him laugh so hard with someone other than Andy or I. Maybe it was because he was way past bedtime, or because Kyle is just hilarious, but Alex had us all laughing.
Here's a shot of one of the "dull" moments of Kyle and Alex chilling. :) (Alex is about to throw the remote....)

Thanks, Kyle, for a great time! Happy Wednesday everyone! :)

I didn't realize you were so close to Kearney. My sister lived there for a time (she just moved to Scottsbluff, NE a month and a half ago). She was driving into Kearney the day the tornadoes hit. Were you safe in your small town?
