Kansas

This last weekend we took off to take a break from life and hide out in Kansas. We love to go to Kansas and visit Damon's family, they are so fun and it is where we can go and relax. The girls went swimming in Uncle Jim and Aunt Janie's pool everyday. Claire learned to dive off the diving board. Kaylee learned to jump off and swim to the edge without any water wings! Corinne just ran to the edge and walked right in every chance she got, so we had to keep a close eye on her and make sure dad was there to catch her so she wouldn't sink. Ruby love to swim with the girls and they LOVED to have her in the pool with them. At night They wrestled with Uncle Jim. I read The Host by Stephenie Meyer (Excellent). Damon caught up with old friend and one night Damon's good friend Josh, whom we all love, took us to his cabin for some fishing. Kaylee, caught around 10 fish! She kept her daddy so busy unhooking them and we had to take pictures of each one. Claire caught around 6 fish but she caught the biggest one of the night. A three pound bass! Then at the end of the night she also reeled in a turtle! It was all catch and release, and so much fun! Corinne was forced to wear a life jacket the whole time on the dock and she hated it! It was too long on her so she couldn't bend at the waist and would just fall over on her back if she lost her balance, so we eventually went inside where she could relax and watch a movie. Thank you to Jim and Janie for letting us take over your backyard for a few days. Thank you to Damon's grandparents for letting us stay with you and turn your life upside down for a few days. And thank you to Josh for being such a good friend and showing us such a great time. I am so blessed and lucky to have such wonderful in-laws, I love you all so much!
