Kansas: Part 2

After 2 days of driving we made it back to Washington late Saturday night. The first day we drove to Laramie, Wyoming and stayed in a hotel with a swimming pool. We then got up at 3 am in the morning and drove until 11 pm. It was 2 long days but the kids did great. It is good to be back home...back to a routine.
We have had to remind Shelby a few times that she is back to "Real" world instead of "Grandparent's" world. Bradan is just happy we remembered all of his hats.

During our time in Clay Center we:

Watched Herb and Margie Abel's old house be destroyed.
Went to the Clay Center Zoo (while Mommy and Daddy were in Vegas)Had water gun fights and played in the pool, sprinkler and water slide.
Visited the Wizard of Oz Museum in Wamego, Kansas

Got to visit with family and friends at a barbecue at Lawrence and Stephanie's house
.Went to Old Abilene Town (while Mommy and Daddy were in Las Vegas) to ride a train, see can-can girls dance, and watch a cowboy fight.
Some other things that we did while we were in Clay Center:
  • Made homemade ice cream.
  • Spent a day with Aunt Rachel getting our nails done.
  • Visited Great Grandma Gean
