In February we will be in Charleston South Carolina and then we'll be able to claim the coast to coast status. At any rate we did travel full circle. On Monday night we ended up staying at a hotel by the Kansas City Airport and that is where we ended our travel back to the USA.
After having the opportunity to ride, at 70 mph, in a heated vehicle, across portions of the Oregon and Mormon trails I gained a new respect for my ancestors who traveled across the United States to make a new life in California. We stopped at Fort Kearney for the kids to get an idea of Pioneer life. It was closed. So we drove around the outside.
Since we couldn't get in, and there was nothing to read, I'm not sure if this is the actual restored fort or a remake. It looked neat though.
After stopping for the night in Kansas City we headed to my sisters house for a short but very sweet visit.
My sister, Brenda, and the kids.
As you can see the kids were getting a little tired of taking pictures. Before this we attempted about 40 shots of a family picture. Then the shot above with Brenda and the kids. During the family picture Brenda was trying to use the self timer but it was actually video. We couldn't figure out why it wouldn't snap the shot. I can hardly wait to see it. LOL. So for posterity sake of what we do to our kids with trying to get that "perfect" shot I have posted the above photo.
All the cousins, minus my nephew Travis who is in Navy A school in Florida. The two in the upper right are my niece Chelsea and my nephew Garrett. I was there when Garrett was born and declared I would NEVER have children. HAHA!
We were having a discussion about me being taller. I LOVE our faces!!!
We do much better with our discussions now than when we were kids. Haha.
Please keep praying for my sister to be able to get the treatments she needs, and if the Lord is willing, that He would heal her of Graves Disease.
