Kansas City

A few weekends ago we headed west on hwy 70 to see the Kiewiets.  We pulled the kids out at noon and hit the road.  We got to Kansas City just as Maggie was getting home from picking her kids up from school.  Nate got home about 3 minutes later….perfect timing by everyone is I do say so myself.  We just hung out all night.  The adults had fun catching up and the kids were off and playing.  We never really heard from them unless they needed food or water.  Annie came along too and had so much fun exploring the Kiewiets big ole house and playing with grandma dog, Hailey.  Hailey enjoyed about 2 minutes of Annie's energy and then she was pooped.

The next day we took the kids bowling and then the snow started.  It snowed all day long until about 11:00 pm.  Luckily by the time we left the next morning the roads were clear, just wet.  We then headed back to their house and didn't leave the rest of the day. Nate made some killer ribs for dinner, and we enjoyed our time together…..as we always do!!

The morning we left, I took the big kids to school and then headed to the car dealership to get an oil change.  This is the picture Mike sends me and says, "just getting cleaned up for the trip."  WOWIE!!!

  Poor Jack had this SORE, SORE lip the entire weekend.  He had a cavity filled earlier in the week and bit his lip so hard when he was numb that he had THIS HUGE (and it even got bigger and nastier!!) sore for a week!  Poor guy, I felt so bad for him.  It hurt him to eat, drink, talk….you name it!!!  It was TERRIBLE!!!  And it left for a kind of crabby Jack, very out of character for him.

BOWLING TIME!!!

The look on Jack's face all weekend.  He really did have fun, just hurts to even smile!

 

Maggie is always saying how they wish their kids were "more competitive."  She got a quick glimpse of what happens when a "competitive kid" isn't doing so well.  She might change her mind after seeing the Friedman kids that want to WIN everything!!

 Mike won't like his faces in these pictures, but the girls were having too much fun not to share!
