The kids and I made a trip to Wichita to see Nana, Papa, Ling, Hoopy, Lucy and Laney this week. Although it had a soggy start and ending, the middle was super fun! We enjoyed the "jumpy thing", zoo, shopping, a ballgame and, most of all, playing in the lake! First, we visited the zoo, where, amidst the animals we also rode the train and then did lunch at McDonalds. The kids played with their cousin Lucy to finish off the day while Mommy and Ling shopped!!! That evening Claire got to watch Lucy do gymnastics at her old stomping grounds and then they joined Papa and Landon at Hoopy's ballgame. Mommy and Nana babysat Laney, which was so sweet...listening to her coo and watching her hold her head up and look out the window. The kids got in on the shopping action Thursday morning at a cool toy store and a boutique that one of the dance teachers I used to work with owns. More playing ensued until Friday, which was declared "lake day"! We were outside pretty much all day, until everyone was ready to go in and rest. Later that night, Papa gave us a boat ride, which made Landon's day! We awoke Saturday morning to rain, but Papa was persistent and we went out in the boat and Nana rode with them on an inflatable. Landon did not stop smiling and several times you could hear him yell "Go faster Papa!". Claire couldn't decide if it was her favorite thing, but overall she liked the experience. It was a good time for all, especially the kids, who are already asking when we get to go back! Thank you Nana and Papa for a wonderful week of fun! And to Ling and Lucy for keeping us playing!
PS-A note from Mommy...There are not many people that could say they went to their in-laws for a week and enjoyed it. I can truthfully say this, and think that is the greatest!!! Thank you!
