Back from a wonderful time in MO!

We had a GREAT time visiting family in Missouri. We had a rough start missing our 640am flight out of Seattle, but after a few hours in the airport and a few hours in the air we made it. Samuel and Merideth loved all the attention they got from Denny and Kristofer, fully willing to play whenever and whatever the kids wanted. We enjoyed lots of barbecue and sweet tea. We miss you already! (Not the food, our family! Could you send some sweet tea soon though!)

WARNING: There are A LOT of pictures below, you may need to grab a snack to enjoy it all!

Corn!
We only picked one Papa!!
Papa's tractors were a big hit.
A quiet game of battleship.
He could have ridden the combine ALL day. Checking out the farm.

Waiting for a surprise from Denny and Kristofer.The boys drove this electric car around when they were little. They cleaned it up for Samuel and Merideth...it was a HUGE hit.

Merideth and Maisy (Danica's dog)Lambert's, home of the throwed rolls, yes throwed rolls, the perfect restaurant for a child like Samuel.
