Missouri has been a blast! Michael, Catherine, Cayden and Lauren were awesome hosts. The girls fell in love with their dogs Hopscotch (or hops as Gabrielle called her) and Magic. We spent the biggest part of the day at the Kansas City Zoo. It's a gem! We did only half the zoo and saw incredible sights. They have a new polar bear, Nikito who was doing the backstroke off of the glass. Amazing! We also saw a baby orangutan. She was precious! We collected acorns for Ms Leslie's class, the Wild things and the Bears. Super awesome, the girls are amazed at how different it is than the desert. The biggest hit was the trampoline in the back yard. Catherine can still do a front flip! How is that possible! I'm way jealous. Abbigail had two big milestones, I slammed her hand in the minivan door. Then she was stung on the same hand by a bee. Total crying, 6 minutes. She's a trooper that girl. The greatest adventure was being back in the land of QT and we all went to get slurpies, the girls were thrilled. Dale, Deb and Tim Parson came over last night and we had margaritas and ice cream. Delicious combo if I do say so myself. So great to get caught up with old friends.
Today we arrived in St. Louis. We met the Bum Cams on their front lawn. Dexter was riding his scooter, Carmen getting the mail and Tavis came from the back yard where their new trampoline is mostly set up. Awesome! We got right out of the car and went to jump. The girls were thrilled. Maya just arrived with a friend from apple picking and Tavis and Nicolas went to the library for game night. Soon we're off to pick up Iris. It's great to be with friends but I'jm really looking forward to getting back on the road and closer to "home".
it does my heart good to read this and share the journey with you all... blessings.
