Quick Trip

We picked up Rick from the airport late Friday night. It was great to have him home. We survived our 2 weeks without him without many problems (the kids are amazing!), but I'm very grateful that he doesn't have to travel very often.
Saturday morning we made a fun breakfast & asked the kids what they wanted to do for the 4 day weekend & gave them some options. We mentioned go to Kansas & immediately they all began shouting that they wanted to go there. They hurriedly got their trip bags together & we quickly packed & headed out to Grandma's house!
Unfortunately, I did a terrible job of taking pictures, but we really had a great time. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins & Eliza started warming up to other people. I went on a fun walk with Janae & Lexie & was surprised to see so many buds on trees so early.
On Sunday afternoon we headed down to Emporia to see Uncle Nathan for a bit.
On Monday afternoon we went over to the Great Wolf Lodge to stay the night. We played LOTS in the water park. The kids loved all of the water slides & sleeping in their own little cabin.
Here's Lexie meeting Wiley Wolf after story time.
And after playing for a few hours in the water they slept really well only to get up & go swimming again! Then we headed back to Grandma's for a bit & then began the long drive home.
It was a really quick trip but we are glad we did it & had lots of fun seeing everyone!
