To Kansas and Back Again


Last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to drive out to Kansas to visit my oldest brother and be a part his daughter Courtney's baptism. We left at about 5:30 AM and Lexi did great until 7:30 AM. Until we arrived at about 3:30 PM the drive was filled with twenty minute intervals of not crying, but screaming. Luckily we had Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on CD to tune her out with. It was so great to visit with Mike and his adorable family. The kids loved having Lexi around and she loved all of the attention. Mike has a fun filled basement plus he owns some horses. He was nice enough to let Lexi and Nate ride them. I don't really care for horses, honestly because I am afraid of them. The barn we are standing in front of in the picture above is almost over 100 years old!

I can't believe you don't like horses!! So Sad, but I'm glad Lexi enjoyed them. It is also good that you got to go out and be with your family for the baptism
