We had a great adventure last week. My brother Jon and his cute wife Jessica and their 2 boys live in Columbia, Missouri. So last Thursday we woke up at 4:30 am to catch our 7:50 am flight from SLC to Denver and then onto Kansas City. We were delayed in SLC 2 hours due to mechanical stuff so therefore, we missed our connecting flight in Denver. Now it was 11:30 am. After Shane stood in line for 1 1/2 hours, we found out the next flight we could catch wasn't until 8:30 that evening. What do you do in an airport for 8 hours with 4 little kids? We decided to rent a car and explore Denver, CO. We hit the Children's Museum and had a great time and then drove around for a while so the kids could get a nap. Then we hit Target to restock on diapers and treats. We then flew into Kansas City at 11:30 that night. We went to rent our car and they didn't have a car seat for Libby so at midnight we hit the Wal Mart to buy a car seat and then we drove 2 hours to Jon's house. We arrived at 3:00 am. It was quite the eventful day and the girls were extremely tired but they were exceptionally good! Thank goodness! We had a great time with Jon, Jess, Griff, and Max. We were spoiled with Jessica's great cooking and we had fun celebrating Max's birthday with him. He's grown up so much and is so adorable. We went to Going Bonkers, swimming, Bass Pro Shop, Jon's school, the frog pond, ate BBQ and frozen custard and played, played and played. No wonder it's taken me 3 days to recover from this trip. Our trip home was only delayed an hour in Denver. Thanks to Jon and Jess for being such great hosts and we wish we could've stayed longer. We hope they move back to Utah after school so that the kids can be close to each other. They had so much fun together. It was a fun adventure but I think we'll stay grounded for a while now. We'll enjoy this summer camping. We did get flight vouchers due to the long delay so I think we may go to Cancun after Christmas- anyone want to go? No kids this time!!!!
