Visiting friends

Enjoying family loding at McConnell AFB in Wichita, Kansas. Pizza, Gatorade, and watching America's Funniest Videos.

We made it to Blue Springs, Missouri to be with our great friends that we made in Maryland. The Sypherts, Maschgers, and James families. It was a rainy week, so we had to find things to do indoors. We took the kids to an art museum. It was very beautiful, but the little kids wanted to touch everything that wasn't supposed to be touched!!!

 I am such a horrible photographer! These pillars are not moving, and yet they are blurry.

 Count 'em. 4 moms. 15 kids.

There was a break in the rain, so the kids went outside. They just couldn't stay away from the mud.

I loved the beautiful blossoms on the trees. Not to mention the little boy. :)

Poor Zachary had a short bout with a fever and needed a nap.

These two were writing a book about Breakfast Wars. The food was fighting against the people. Ah, I love their imaginations!

Mealtimes were always interesting. Merrin looks too happy stabbing those potatoes.

Tam is figuring how many chicken nuggets to make. Just make them all, the kids will eat them!

It would take teamwork from all four of us to get a meal out to the masses.

Thank goodness there was enough room for all the kids to eat at the same time!

These three little girls were such great friends while we lived in Maryland. The way they went right back to playing together, it was like they were never apart.

Despite having to spend a lot of time in the house due to the weather, there was never any problem with them finding something to occupy their time.

By far the best activity was watching movies on the big screen complete with surround sound.

Finally it was warm enough to go outside and eat popsicles!

It's a pity that they couldn't have spent more time outdoors. The backyard was a great place to play!

The night before we left, we celebrated Jane's birthday. Yummy, delicious cake from Costco!

I love these women!
