A few weeks ago, spring fever hit our household and so we skipped church and went off to explore the countryside. Choosing to combine good intentions with our day o’ fun, we attempted to visit Jeremy’s grandparents in David City. Our spontaneity was timed precisely during their Sunday visits to see their children in Lincoln, so we didn’t get to visit them afterall. These photos were taken at the David City park… Both Jeremy and I have memories of climbing on and around tanks in parks (what is it with tank in parks?). Not only was this smallish tank good fodder for photos, it was also fun to climb. When you’re a little kid, you just monkey all over things like this, not at all concerned about falling off or perhaps banging your knee on cold, hard metal. I realized how darn inflexible I’ve become as an adult and how overly anxious I was about falling (on or off, either way would’ve bruised or broken something on my body). I felt especially like a big, dumb grown-up trying to climb off the thing… Jeremy had to direct my flailing right foot to the proper position so I could manuever all five feet, nine inches of me to the ground. All in all, we had a really nice afternoon driving all over eastern Nebraska, spending quality time side by side in the car. Sometimes, when nice weather beckons, you’ve just gotta get out of town…
