Road Trip to Kansas

We hadn't planned much in the way of a summer vacation but when the opportunity arose to go to Kansas to see my family along with a trip to Missouri to see Jeff's family, we took it. Even though my husband is back in school working on a second Master's degree we decided he could probably do work while on our trip. (He kinda was able to but is still playing catch up unfortunately) The first leg of our trip was to visit Kansas where my Aunt and Uncle live along with my oldest cousin and his family. My grandma is staying with them this summer as well, so we got to see a bunch of people! I hadn't seen my cousin and his family in probably 5 years so it was really nice to visit with them some. Our kids and their kids had a blast together. They used to see each other often as babies & toddlers but obviously hadn't been around each other in a while. That didn't matter one bit cause boy did those kids have fun and oh how sad they were to have to leave. We will definitely have to be going back to visit in the future. We did have some car problems on our way there (we always seem to have car problems..its annoying) but we survived and had help from our wonderful family..and got the car fixed before heading home. Here are some pictures of our trip to Kansas!!

Everyone is ready!

These two were funny together, they are the same age so had a lot of fun.

Lot's of dancing fun with the Xbox kinect.

It was so funny to watch them.
