Long Weekend in KS

We spent Labor Day weekend in Kansas with the families.  We were all suffering so terribly from allergies during this trip that some of it was a little hazy and not a lot of pics were taken...but we had so much fun!  We left Saturday morning for Nana and Papa's.  The kids played in the lake with their cousins and made silly videos together, and then we all had dinner.  Sunday morning dawned to even more allergy issues.  But after donuts and more cousin time we made it to Gram and Poppy's that afternoon to be greeted by more cousins!  Unkie treated the kids to a "chair rack ride" behind the tractor before Uncle Frank's party that evening.    Monday morning was mini ranger and Barney rides before lunch and then trekking back to Arkansas.  It was a whirlwind...but a fun one!

 The cousins getting one last 'splash' in together at the lake.  The water was cold but it didn't seem to bother them too much once they got in.  Although come to think of it, there was lots of sand castle building this time!

 Miss Charlotte staking her claim of both Geoff and Daddy (Fred).  Geoff quickly became her favorite after Fred had to leave for a bit to help Frank set up for the party.  But once Fred was back, she wouldn't let either one of them out of her sight.  It was so cute!

No ordinary hay rack ride for us...we go "posh"!  If you can't quite make out what is happening here, there are chairs on the trailer behind the tractor to take a ride.
