Well geez. There are so many good pics taken this trip, it is hard to narrow them down to one post. The day after Taggart's graduation we went out to Kansas to see his sister, JoLee, graduate with her PhD from KU. The entire family was there, it was really fun. The nephews were a riot the entire trip, and for a couple of two year olds and a baby, there was almost no squabbling about playing together and sharing, which we considered a significant victory. We went to a couple of grad parties for JoLee, and hung out with the family. Kansas is really green, Taggart and I loved it. He said it reminded him of West Virginia.
At Red Robin, nearing nap time. You can see this is a dangerous time of day, when at any moment, you could fall out of the two year olds' good graces. But the guys did great, and all the more to our entertainment.
This was his 'microphone' - he would get up on the stool and give speeches.
The graduates.
The entire family. This was not an easy shot, but we got it!
We are just in love with these three guys!
Taggart and I had originally booked a hotel because we weren't sure if I would be able to handle the resident cat, Zephyr. Turns out, I did great, and we were able to stay at JoLee and Nate's house for the rest of the trip. but our first night in the hotel, there was a tornado warning, and the city's tornado sirens were going off as we made our way back to the hotel. I guess in all the time JoLee and Nate have been there, this was the first serious tornado warning. We feel really privileged to have been a part of that. :D We had a great trip, and now that we know I'm ok with Zephyr, we're excited to plan another trip out to see them soon.
sigh. Did you know that I live in Kansas??? We would have loved to see you! But it's ok. Sometimes there just really isn't time to see anyone else when you are visiting family. We may come to CO for Christmas... I'll let you know :) Love the blog!
