Family Vacation

We had the chance to go to Kansas City to visit my family. We were gone from home a total of 16 days. We have never been gone that long from home before, and it was so nice to have the time to spend with family. We haven't spent that much time with my side of the family ever, and it was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. The homesickness this time has been intense, and this is the first time in a long time that the distance seems so great. Here are some photo highlights from our trip.












































We had a great time visiting with extended family in Wichita and at Mom's surprise 60th Birthday party. It was so good to see aunts and uncles that I hadn't seen in almost 10 years. It was so much fun to surprise Mom, a task that is not easily accomplished.




















































We went on a day trip to the Kansas City Zoo. We had a lot of fun there, and I was glad that the kids got to see so many of their favorite animals! (haha)
































We had a lot of fun as a family at Big Cedar. The day that we went on the lake was one of our favorites of the trip.
