We enjoyed our visit with our daughter and her family. Just a word of caution, though. Don't ever get a cockatoo, unless you really enjoy noise! Their new house is beautiful. The kids are doing well, one is really talented in writing essays and stories, the other loves designing clothes and drawing. The boy is in love and that's about all I can say about that!
By the way, our second choice of motel wasn't too great after all. There were young people standing around in the parking lot, drinking beer, smoking, and talking and laughing loudly. It made us uneasy so the next day, we found a motel where we had stayed 15 or so years ago. We had a nice big room and it was quiet. We felt safer there and it felt more homey. And it was considerably cheaper.
We came home through the most southern part of Kansas. It was beautiful. Along the central part of Kansas there are flint hills, a tall grass prairie of rolling hills. To the south, there are red rocks and red dirt. The tall prairie grass turns reddish in the fall and is absolutely beautiful, waving gently in the breeze. We stopped to potty, stopped to get gas, stopped to eat...well, actually we did at least two of those every time we stopped. One time we even stopped because of anticipated gas, but that's another story.
We were glad to get home, but enjoyed our visit. We didn't go to Bass Pro, though...the first time that we didn't. Guess we've graduated!

anticipated gas? hmmm....
Since when do you stop for that?
Kay, depends on who anticipates it!
I think Kansas is beautiful too. We haven't gotten to make a long trip for a while.
Enjoyed reading your post and the comments. Must admit my warped mind (not implying that Kay and Julie are warped of course) went down that same road with the anticipated gas line...
Like your new header picture :)
Robin, thats because my mom wrote it to mean that. I would bet any amount of money on it. And I have gone through Kansas with them before...
Actually, it was difficult to determine if it was gas or something more volatile. It was gas. Okay? Satisfied? :)
Sounds like a fun trip!
Mom - we don't see Kansas too often - get to Olathe every couple of years. God bless as you serve him.
Moms your family is so much fun!
