We have had a wonderful week. Jim's dad and Stepmom came to visit especially for my Citizenship Ceremony. We have had 3 days of FUN! Shane got to stay home from school for 3 days!! I can only imagine what his teacher may be thinking! It has been SO worth it though! Jim took vacation time as well, so we had 3 days to spend as a family!!
On Tuesday we went out to Deanna Rose's Farmstead. I took the kids there earlier in the summer along with some other moms, and they loved it, so I thought it would be a neat place to go as a family. Everyone had a really fun time. The weather was just absolutely beautiful! As usual I took lots of pictures. The kids got to fish, feed the goats, go mining for stones and ride on the hay ride. Shane also got to ride on a horse twice, since Kayla is still too small. For dinner we went to Texas Roadhouse. Dinner was really yummy and Kayla even got to go dance with the waitresses!!



On Wednesday I had my Citizenship Ceremony in the morning and were done at around 11:30am. We were really hungry since we had no breakfast before we left. For lunch we went to one of my favorite restaurants.. Olive Garden!! It was delicious! We came home for a quick rest and to lay Kayla down for a nap. After she woke up, we went to Dave and Busters at the Legends. The kids had a great time playing with all the games and winning all those tickets! After we left, we hit Coldstone for some ice cream!!



Today Jim had to make a quick run to work for a lunch party, so we let the kids play outside since the weather has just been so nice. For her birthday, Kayla got a Dora tricycle from grandpa and grandma Patti, and although her legs are still a little too short to reach the peddles, she had a great time trying to ride it!



We are planning on taking the kids to the Royals game today after Jim gets back. I am sure we are going to have a great time there as well!!!
