Tuesday - A visit to the fire station

Tuesday was a crazy day! My mom and the kids went with me while I went for what was supposed to be a quick look at a minivan that I saw online. It turned into an all day event of me looking at the van, wanting the van, trying to make the decision to buy the van, talking to Eric on the phone about the van, looking at a new van to make sure I couldn't get a better deal, and ultimately buying the van I loved. While I was doing paperwork on the van my mom took the kids to see my brother at the fire station.

Drew had a great time telling me about everything he got see there. He was amazed that Uncle Scott's fire truck had a computer in it! Now everytime we pass a fire truck or fire station he wants to know if it is Uncle Scott's.

Trip to Kansas Continued - Thursday

After making the drive on Wednesday we wanted a relaxing day so the kids and I met my brother Scott, his wife Jen and their kids at Deanna Rose Farmstead. It is an awesome place that is part park, part petting zoo and best of all FREE! If we lived in Kansas City we would be there all the time.

Drew and his cousin Dakota had a great time feeding the goats, running around on the playground, and fishing. Sarah and Brianna enjoyed looking at all the animals and watching their brothers run around. Ryan was an angel and slept through most of our time there!


After wearing the kids out at the Farmstead we headed out to the mall to do a little shopping at the Carter's store that Jen works at. Scott was nice enough to take the big boys to the playground while Jen and I spent all our money in Carters.
