Easter in Kansas

We spent Easter Weekend in Kansas.   It's a long 13 hour drive, but it was time for a visit so we decided to just suck it up and go.  What are the chances Jake will come down with a stomach virus the very day we are leaving......apparently 100%.  Poor guy threw up every hour for the first 4 hours (and poor me because I had to sit next to him)!  It was rough but we spent the night in a hotel and the next day went much better.  We did manage to get back home in one day, leaving at 7am and getting home at 11pm.   I had a good book, the kids had movies and Matt had a book on tape.

Once we finally got there we had a great time visiting, relaxing, fishing and playing.  Totally worth the drive (once a year anyway).


Relaxing on the porch watching a beautiful sunset (and drinking a beer).  
Not a bad evening!



Cousins!



Poor guy wasn't quite himself over the weekend (stomach bug) but four-wheelers and tractors perked him up!



He was pretty excited about peeing on a post too!





Fishing!



Matt got the prize for catching the smallest fish (Grace caught five, I think they were all bigger) 



My turn to drive...
