Fort Kearney

We spent a free Sunday at Fort Kearney. We’d heard great things about the state park, so we packed up our life jackets and a lunch and we were off.

The kiddos enjoyed the sand and lake. Fish would swim right up to us—the biggest thrill of the day for the boys.

 

 

Then we tried out a trail. There were mulberry trees every few steps along the way. Luke loves mulberries and he’s teaching the kiddos to love them, too.

I was so busy trying to get this shot of the four boys that I missed a deer jumping across the path. Typical me.

The trail took us to a bridge over the Platte River. It was a little terrifying for my acrophobic husband and eldest child, so we enjoyed the view safely from the bench on the bridge. Also note in this picture Leo’s little face with evidence of the mulberries he’d indulged in mixed with dirt from the path when he biffed it while running in his flip-flops.

Good, good Sunday.
