Missouri Tour: Part I

We decided to round out this summer with a Missouri Tour visiting some of our favorite people. We left Grandaddy and Daddy behind as we loaded up for a 16 day trip : ) Our first stop was seeing one of my oldest/ and best friends in her new(ish) hometown of Lawrence, Kansas. (Yes, she is the only good thing about that town). (Ok, I'll be honest. I actually think the town is pretty cool.) The kids once again did a FANTASTIC job on our journey and we made it there in record time. We enjoyed a night of pizza, silliness and politics (yes, we went there) at the Pearson home.

*I pre-apologize for the quality of these photos. In the hustle and butsle of leaving I left our camera behind. So thankful for the iphone :)

Reading a bedtime story

The next morning we headed to Parkville, MO (northern Kansas City) to visit with my oldest sister, Reebs (a.k.a Rebecca). We had one of our best behaved visits (no peeing on walls or hanging from chandeliers) and thus we (I) enjoyed our time there (minus some minor burns, bumps and bruises).

Visiting the gym, where our cousin Roman is a STAR. He honestly is going to be in the olympics some day.

Watching the Lorax. (You can tell who had seen it and who had not)

Feeding a RELENTLESS Cardinal.

Playing dress up with our friend Vivi.

Putting on a rock concert.

Getting a make over from our Aunt Reebs!

Ta Da!

After a few days there we wanted to check out our Aunt Linny's new house in Liberty, MO (minus Aunt Linny). We LOVE it!

We then headed south to Brookside area where my other sister, Rachel, lives. Despite the fear of their 2 dogs (who wouldn't hurt a fly, but DID hurt our flip flops) we enjoyed hanging with them and sending them off on their first day of school. Goodbyes were pretty easy because we get to see them Labor Day weekend :)
