Putt Putt at the Condo

The kids have really been asking and asking to go and play putt putt. We finally gave in, though it was freezing outside. They had a blast and I didn't get stressed out (which is unusual) because I didn't have to pay for it. "Go ahead, whack the ball across the field and then throw it and then just put it in the hole - who cares" was basically my motto for the event. It worked well. Enjoy the video.

Visiting Friends in Tx

We visited Titus and Angie in TX before we took off to Branson for our vacation. We had time to walk up to the park and play and it was great for the kids to get out a lot of their energy. We have a few pics of Kaewyn and Arabella, so make sure to see those cute kiddos! The rest are of our fam and them playing.

Moscow Circus

We were able to go to the Moscow Circus while in Branson (THANK YOU KIRA) and here are pictures of some of the preshow stuff. Sydney was asleep except for the first picture (which was actually taken last). The kids were really really excited about all of the stuff going on.
This guy had a little squirrel thing w/ a spring inside that jumps and the kids were petting it when it flew at Gideon, which he thought was hilarious.
Isa hugged her first stranger EVER!!! Kind of, well, it was a bear, but I still thinks that counts. She won't hug Santa Clause, so this is a big deal.
Picture of the kids w/ the guy on stilts in the background.
The guy on the left is juggling (below).

Right before the show starts (above) and sign below.
Both of the older kids got to ride a little motorcycle and they thought it was great. Both were just smiles ear to ear.


Sorry about the quality, they were moving and we were using our phone instead of camera. Enjoy anyways though!

From TX to MO

We traveled from TX to MO and stopped at a ton of McDonald's play places along the way (as it was 8 hours long). Here are some pics of those.

Flying w/ Friends

About a week ago, right after my birthday, I was able to go flying with a few of my friends, Josh and Josh. We left Wichita and flew down to Ponca City, OK, where we parked by the runway and went out to dinner at Enrique's, a Mexican restaurant there. It was great fun and I learned a lot about the controls of an aircraft. Did you know that in small plains, they actually have an airbag built into the seatbelt by the door???? Really, airbags in planes? Don't you just count yourself dead if you crash?Above is a picture of the control panels. Below is just getting ready to enter the clouds and the last look at the sun before we go up.
Below, we just broke through the clouds and they were spectacular looking. Notice the rainbow in the first one in a circle, it was cool.

Below is our landing descent into Ponca City where we just had a great dinner w/ lots of stories and fun! Hope I get to do it again some time.
