It was a nice trip to Kansas to see my dad and step mom but oh the weekend went by so fast! I am getting more comfortable with driving to my dad's house since Daryl stays home with the dogs and his mom. I used to get really nervous but not so much anymore. We left before 8 a.m. on Friday, which is a great time for 5 females...I would say! We stopped at one rest area, had lunch in Hays, KS...our usual stop for Subway and topped off the fuel and then on to Andover. I think we had to make one more stop before our arrival but we did really good on time.
We met my dad and step mom, Judy at Spangle's for dinner. The girls love that place! The fun 50's decor, loud music and the life size statue of Elvis make for a good time. It was burgers, fries and slushies for everyone! The girls sat in one booth and I sat with my dad and Judy in a booth next to them. A police officer came in for dinner and was watching my girls. They have so much fun together and get silly and giggly. He stopped me on my way out and told me that I really had my hands full with those 4 girls. I just had to giggle....yes I do, but I love every minute of it!
We headed back to the hotel for an evening of swimming. I just watched and took plenty of pictures and videos. My head was hurting and my ears had a full plugged kind of feeling. I was just ready for bed. We had a 2 queen bed suite, so the little girls got the fold out sofa, Kels and Kaitlin shared a bed and I got my own queen bed...all to myself! I sprawled diagonally across the bed the entire night and used all 4 pillows! It was pure joy! :) On Saturday morning we headed to the nearest Super Cuts for hair cuts! Everyone got hair cuts or all trimmed up. We met up with my dad and Judy and headed out for a little shopping and lunch. After that we went back to their house for the afternoon. It was such a beautiful day! The colors of fall were all around but it was a warm day. We ended the day with Chinese food, Chinese donuts, good fortunes and more swimming.
Our trip came to end Sunday mid morning as my dad and Judy headed for church and we hit the road for home. We usually go to church with them but Daryl was at home working on the bathroom so I wanted to get back in case he needed my help before Monday morning. I was glad to get home and got busy cleaning the layer of construction dust that was covering the house! :)
