Our long family road trip this year was to head to Kansas for a family wedding. We hit the road...with Grammy...for an 11 night trip! We spent 6 nights in Kansas on the farm...and the kids loved it!!!
The weather was amazing. The week before we came, it was hot hot hot. But they had a cool snap while we were there and it was SO nice.
The kids loved driving the Ranger that Rich has. We did loop after loop around the farm with the kids taking turns driving!
We got to celebrate Jake's birthday while we were there. The wedding was on his birthday. He got the KD shoes he really wanted.
Look at Joshua's face! He was so excited...he helped pick them out.
We went to Christa and Cory's house one afternoon. They built a beautiful house on some property. More 4 wheeler and go kart fun!
Sophia is very close in age to Ella...and they love to spend time together. Riley is a bit older.
Jake driving Beckett around in the go kart.
Rich and Mike took the boys fishing a few times. We even had a fish fry with what they caught.
This is Sophia standing in the middle of Palmer...the closest town to Rich and Dianne. There is nothing there...not even a stop light. I think they have 1 stop sign.
Playing on the hay bales....
And THEN....on the way home we got to stop in Pawhuska, OK to see Pioneer Women's restaurant and store. Sophia, Shirley and I were SO excited.
Imagine our excitement level when we walked upstairs...and Ree was there talking to people and signing books!!! It was so exciting. She signed a cookbook for Sophia and was so nice to talk to.
I loved the whole Mercantile trip. Mike and the boys were very good sports. We came at the perfect time (middle of the week) and got to eat dinner and breakfast there with no waiting. I thought they food was amazing. It was such a fun way to end a long trip.
