Kansas Trip

Thad and I went back to Russell for a long weekend. My best friend from High School was having a 30th birthday party so we made the trip back for it. We had a good time and as usual packed out days full of fun things!

Thad was very excited to see his cousin Avery. Every time he gets around her he gets so excited.

On Friday afternoon there was a parade for homecoming. They used Thad's hat to hold all the candy they got. I should have taken a picture of it with all the candy because that hat was overflowing!

On Saturday we went to Hays and went to the Sternberg Museum. I haven't been there in about 15 years so it was fun to go back and see everything. Of course the girls went with us and Thad loved that. He keeps right up with them.

This is what you see when you first walk through the door. A big mammoth!

They had a fun cutout that we took turns taking our pictures!

Thad loved looking at all the dino's! He would go right up to them and say hi.

They all had fun digging in the sand and finding dino eggs

In the tunnel was big creatures of the sea!

Papa and Thad trying to be as tall as this dino.

So excited! This one moved it's mouth and was eating grass. Thad wanted to try and feed this dino!

This was a BIG T-Rex dino! It was on a sensor and when you walked by it it would growl and move it's head. Thad was a little nervous by this one but he still wanted to watch it move it's head.

They had a play area that they all had fun at. Climbing this big spider, doing puzzles, and seeing live animals such as snakes, frogs and lizzards.

Saturday night Thad hung out with Nana and Papa while I went and had fun at my friends party. Jessica is my best friend from high school and they rented a party bus for her 30th birthday. I had never been on a party bus before. It had a huge TV in the back and held about 25 people. We cruised around for 3 hours and went to a few bars along the way. It was a fun time especially hanging out with Jessica again.

Sunday we went to the AmericInn to go swimming. Ever since we went to the lake a few months ago and Thad went swimming with Papa in the lake that is all he has talked about. He always tells people he splashy in the water with Papa and threw a big ball! So we had to go swimming with Papa and splashy in the water and throw a football in the water.

We had a nice little trip to Kansas. After being home this weekend I told Adam I wouldn't mind moving back to Kansas and he didn't like that idea. I guess I'll have to work on him a little harder!

Thad got car sick on the way home and threw up in the car. Luckily we weren't far from Aunt Jill's house in Goodland so we stopped for a few hours and got everything cleaned up. Thanks again Jill for helping us out and feeding us lunch.
