Summer Vacation 2011

This is going to have to be multiple posts because I can't even begin to organize it all in one.  We just got back from a 10 day trip up north.  We left on a Friday night after work and stayed at our favorite Hampton Inn in Muskogee, OK and then headed further north to KC where we hung out with Kyle's side of the family.  It was wonderful to get to see everyone and hang out with two of my nieces for a few days.  I got to see my friend Kristi and meet her little girl and Kyle got to see his friend Nathan and his wife and kids.  We took the kids to Crown Center, played and ate at Fritz's restaurant which has a train deliver food to each table.  How cool is that?  Drew loved it!

The boys outside the Hampton Inn ready to begin the final 6 hours to KC.

The boys loved wrestling with their uncles.  We missed Uncle Matt though.

Blake found a new favorite game...bean bag toss

Hhhmmm...this scene seems vaguely familiar to me except I remember there being a crib involved and my cousin Aaron.  This time it was Drew and his cousin Adelyn fighting over the doll.  The doll eventually lost her diaper, but thankfully all limbs are intact. 

 

Drew loves his great grandma!

Adelyn and Drew quickly got over their doll fight and were best buds again.

Goofiness with cousin Kim, aunt Natalie and Adelyn

I think the scary dinosaur was attacking great grandpa

Melt my heart!

I was able to make a quick side trip to Columbia to meet up with Kristi and Peyton.  What a cutie!

All the cousins at Kaleidoscope at Crown Center.
