Just 1 Month Late.....

So it has been almost a month since our visit to KC. Sorry this has taken so long. The trip sure flew by and seemed like we did not have enough time to spend with everyone. I am not sure if there is ever going to be enough time. Needless to say, we were blessed with the time we had together.



The girls had so much fun, every day. Once we got home, there was a little bit of an adjustment period for them. They LOVED spending time with their cousin Jakob. Morgaine still asks about Jakob every day. Anything from if he is coming over, to if Jakob would like the Handy Manny that is on TV or if he would like the ice cream cone (or as Morgaine refers to it "kerfreem cone") she is eating. They really miss him so much and hopefully the cousins will be able to see each other again soon. Maybe we can plan another trip up to KC next summer. Now that Ryann is getting ready to start school - I still can't believe that she is going into the 1st grade - it makes it harder for us to take time off to come up, so it looks like the summer is the best bet for us.

One day we went to the Deanna Rose Farm and the kids were able to see some of their favorite animals up close. They were even able to feed some of them. Grammy talked me into taking a hayride with Morgaine & Ryann, which was interesting in itself - but the girls loved it - only for my children! :) Ryann was able to ride a horse, while Grammy, Aunt KT & Aunt Jennifer took Jakob & Morgaine over to bottle feed the baby sheep. It looked cute, but that was about it. Aunt KT, Grammy & Aunt Jennifer said it was just plain gross. Jakob & Morgaine were a little freaked out too.

This is a picture of Grammy with the grandkids in the petting/feeding part of the farm. One of the goats decided to check out Grammy's purse to see if there were any goodies for him in her bag. He must have known that ALL of the grandkids KNOW TO LOOK in Grammy's purse. This picture is a classic!

Here Ryann is riding the horse, she was so excited! And Morgaine looking at the "stinky cows" she has only been able to see from her carseat window. She kept saying they were "stinky cows".

Next we headed down to the lake to check out Grammy & Peeps lake house and of course their BOATS! Both girls could NOT get enough time on the boats. Peeps was in HEAVEN! This is another topic that is always brought up here at home. They really wonder why we don't have any boats. :)

Here is Morgaine driving the boat with Peeps. This picture speaks a THOUSAND words. Morgaine got the hang of honking the horn on the boat, she was a real pro. :)

And here is Ryann a true lake bum at heart! We did not get a picture of her riding the the "fast" boat with Peeps, but we will NEVER forget when Peeps pulled away from the dock & hit it - Ryann's blonde hair was flowing back behind her in the wind. She was LOVING IT!

I am sorry that it has taken so long to get these pictures up on the blog, we have been a little busy. :) But we have the memories forever & we cherish them all. We love and miss you all!
