June Misc.



A few more things we did this month....we went out to my Aunt Marcia's land. It's out past Wahoo, NE. She has a little cabin, tractors, sand and four wheelers. The boys had a great time checking it all out.

Charlie just turned 6 1/2 as well! He asked for me to make him a lemon-blueberry bundt cake. This is his favorite.The above photo is of me, Sherry and Susan. We took our families to the Aksarben Ice Cream Extravaganza in Stinson Park. Beautiful night and lots of fun!

Great Wolf Lodge and Kansas City









In mid June we headed south to one of our favorite places--Great Wolf Lodge. This was our second time there and definitely won't be our last. We always have a great time. This year again we visited T Rex Cafe where the boys picked out, stuffed and dressed a dinosaur...or in Charlie's case, a wooly mammoth! We also ordered pizza from Nick and Willy's again. This time on the trip, the boys played MagiQuest, which is a game at the hotel where you run around trying to find clues and wave your magic wand at them, blah, blah, blah. It was fun, but a lot of work for mom and dad!
Okay, so this blogger is completely baffling me right now. I can't figure out how to move the photos, so the top photos are from Deanna Rose Farm in Overland Park, KS. We stopped there after Great Wolf Lodge and on our way home. We loved it. It was free to get in and then just a few dollars for different activities, such as fishing, goat feeding, and pony rides. We did all of them and had a good time. It was about 95 degrees the day we went, so we didn't get to spend quite as much time at the Farm as we would have liked. We will go back the next time we are down there!

Des Moines and Dam to Dam

At the beginning of June, we went to Des Moines, IA so that I could run Dam to Dam on June 5th. We stayed in a hotel, did some swimming, ordered in pizza and went to Adventureland the next day. We had a good time and the run was great. I hope to do it again next year. The race started at Saylorville Lake and Dam and finished in downtown Des Moines. It rained nearly the entire race this year, but it the end it was a blessing. It wasn't hot and humid!
