Finally - as advertised, Christmas Part II comes to fulfillment. In honor of Henry's first trip to Nebraska, we gave him the full experience. This included, of course, a tour of a hog farm.

Although skeptical at first sniff, Henry was easily won over.

| Baby pigs are so cute!!! |

| Trying to refrain from taking one home. |
Dinner was served following our tour, but we had to try to get the pig smell off of us first. The solution: trampoline jumping. I have no idea how effective this actually is, but I can think of worse things they could have made us do.
Dinner included toy and joke filled crackers. Winner of the night:
"What did one snowman say to the other snowman?"
"Do you smell carrots?"

As always, no visitor to Beatrice escapes the clutches of the Homestead National Monument. Who knew that Washington too, was partially settled by homesteaders? (Everyone who lives in Beatrice, probably...)

| Washington! |

We also had to document the mangle, as we feel the current Wikipedia page inadequately captures the effort people put in to ironing their clothes. This is especially salient when compared to how little effort I will put in to ironing.

Do they still have the mangle slide show with pictures of Mrs. Wiebe in action?
