Kansas, Pt 2

On Friday we all went to Rock River Rapids. It was great. What a fun water park and so very close to Robin's house! The kids were a little nervous at first, but really had a blast once they got used to the water.

Becca showed off her new swimsuit by napping in it in the shade.


William and Anna liked splashing in the water.


The squirty fish was a lot of fun.

Kansas Trip

We had a lovely time on our trip to Kansas last week. It started out rough with us missing our 7am flight. We got to the ticket counter 15 minutes after they cut off check-in (45 minutes before take-off). Yeah, we'd cut it too close. But it's never been a problem before.

We rode the MAX into Portland to read stories at the downtown Library after finally checking in our bags at 10am.

When we finally made it to Kansas, things got a lot better. Robin took us to the Exploration Place. It totally rocked. The kids had a blast and the play areas were really neat. And it was almost completely empty for some reason. Do Kansans not realize what a treasure they have there?

Anna joined Zach and Quinn to play flight simulator. I think Zach made this face because Quinn was crashing the plane.


Zach got really good at pulling bubbles over people.


Becca liked eating the horse's mane. I can tell she's going to be a great horsewoman someday.


William and Lili enjoyed the boat in the little kid area.
