Schmidt Family Visit to Nebraska

Three weekends ago, our friends Dana and Danielle Schmidt and their new son, Brecken, came to visit some family and friends back in Nebraska for the weekend.  The Schmidts live in the Des Moines area and it had been a while since we had seen them.  It was fun to hang out and catch up but also to play a game like old times sake.

On Friday night, our friends Nolan & Amy Harms, Drew & M'Leigh and Adelyn, and the Schmidts came over to our house for dinner and games.  Chelsea had volleyball practice after school so Jon made stuffed shells and grilled potatoes for everyone.  It was fun to host everyone at our place because this was the first time that any of them had seen our home.

On Saturday, we drove into Seward to watch the Husker Volleyball game at the Harms' house and we ordered Pizza Hut.  After dinner we went to Dairy Queen to get Buy One Get One for $0.99.  On our way to DQ, we stopped by the Walz Athletic Complex so Dana could get some Concordia Sunglasses that the tennis team had sold as a fundraiser last year.  

Dana was super excited to be back in the Walz after hours as he walked this hallway many times during his Cross Country and Track career at Concordia.  Chelsea also was excited to be back, but laughed at Dana.

It was great to see the Schmidts and we are excited to plan a trip to see them in Iowa soon.  Thanks for the fun memories everyone!
