Missouri Visit

Got home yesterday from our week in Missouri. What a blast we had! It was so good to see my sister and my sweet nieces are growing up so fast.

 We started out bright and EARLY last Wednesday. Airports are one of the coolest places for boys to be.

This was Maxton's first flight so he was really interested in all the policy and procedure that goes into flying. Here he is going over the In Case of Emergency pamphlet with me before takeoff.

 

Once we arrived in Denver, we had about a two hour layover so we passed the time by riding the super cool underground trains at the airport.

 ...and eating pizza.

Finally, we made it to Missouri. Both boys were so excited to see everyone.

My sister has a super awesome house and Mylo loved showing us around and playing on the playground in the backyard.

I loved all the green.

Throughout the week, we visited an Aquarium where the boys got to feed sharks...

...got a personal tour of a fire station! Uncle Stephen works for the City of Branson so we got to pull right up and the sweet fireman inside took the boys all around the station. TOO COOL!

 

One of the biggest features (for Max especially) was a long ride on the Branson Scenic Railway. 

 It was a whirlwind week with lots of shopping, Ride the Ducks and Silver Dollar City.  There are LOTS more pictures. Check em out on my Facebook page.

Can't wait to go back!

Where Did Summer Go?

I can't believe the summer is nearly over. Tomorrow, Mylo, Maxton, and I (and Mom) leave for our vacation to Missouri! We are SO excited to get out of here for a week. The boys are so excited for the plane rides. I am not so excited about the packing. I ALWAYS overpack and STILL forget things. We are going to miss Andy, but I'm thinking he is really going to enjoy the solitude for a little bit. PICTURES TO COME!

Summertime

It's been a pretty low-key summer so far. Tony and Andrew are doing a lot of swimming at their mpm's house. Mylo and Maxton have been going on tons of field trips with their preschool. Mylo gets to go with his class to the movies for the Summer Movie program and Max has been able to join the big kids for the Hall of Flame museum. There are a few new museums and activities at the Library that they are looking forward to this month too.

Andy and his boys are in San Diego right now enjoying the beach and visiting. Hope to have pictures when they get back.

Mylo, Maxton, and I will be going on our trip to Branson soon to visit my sister. We are so excited and I can't wait to get away.

For now, we are trying to stay cool.
