Road Trip to Kansas

We just got back from a fun filled vacation to Kansas. Many thought we were crazy for driving the 1800+ miles but overall it went rather well. Thank God for DVD players and cheap "prizes" from the dollar store. We decided the trip is about 6 hours to long though because that is when we are driving on that nasty road in Nebraska and both kids were tired of their car seats. The trip started in Wakefield and ended in Bern.

Here are some of the highlights and pictures:
*Shelby went swimming in the big pool with Emma(a family friend) and Mommy.
*Shelby played in her playhouse at Grandparents Avery's house.
*Grandma and Grandpa Avery had get together where we got to see lots of people and eat really good smoked brisket, ribs and chicken.
*Stu and Quinn got to go to Manhattan by ourselves and eat at Carlos O' Kellys and buy some KSU gear at Varney's.
*We went to the Clay Center zoo and played in the park.
*Shelby, Bradan and Quinn traveled to Waverly, Kansas to see Katie and Dustin's new house.
*Shelby got to stand in a field of corn and ride the four wheeler with Grandpa Robert.
*We got to meet Craig and Jessica's new dog Bo
*We surprised Grandpa Robert by taking a family portrait with everyone dressed in John Deere shirts.
*Haverkamp Brothers hosted their annual summer picnic while we were in Bern.
*Stu went golfing with the boys and Quinn and the kids went to Schilling Bridge winery with the girls.
