Our family made the trip to Wichita this weekend to meet our new baby niece, and to celebrate the birthday of her big sister, Lucy! We all finally got to meet Laney, who was born just two weeks ago. She is perfect...and teeny tiny! Claire adored her the moment she laid eyes on her, and held her several times. Landon looked lovingly at Laney several times, and then moved on (although he was super excited to meet Laney, he talked of nothing else on the road trip up).
Our first venture after arrival was going to a Wingnuts game to watch Hoopy (Uncle Kevin) play baseball. This was Landon's first game, and he really enjoyed it. Claire is an old pro, having traveled with Nana and Papa several summer's ago to Ohio. It was a nice night and all the kids had a ball. They even got to go down on the field with Hoopy after the game was over (the Wingnuts won!!). Landon slept with a squishy baseball that night he had gotten at the game, it was adorable!
On Saturday, we went to Lucy's house for her birthday party! The kids played and were actually very good about letting Lucy open her own presents. Lucy was pumped when she received her "babydoll with teeth", and therefore all was good. She joined our family on the lake that afternoon for hours of fun in the sun. Geoff and Papa blew up a huge inflatable that the kids just loved...they jumped, splashed, belly-flopped and swam. We took a boat ride on Papa's boat, which made Landon's day and then had a relaxing, but short, evening before everyone passed out!
Sunday morning we made a quick trip to the zoo before heading home to reality. The kids didn't want to leave, but have great memories they are talking about this morning. Thank you Nana and Papa, Ling, Hoopy, Lucy and Laney!!
My images will not upload right now, so I'll try again a little later...gotta love technology!
