Vacation in Kansas!

We have been on vacation for a week and a half. It was so much fun. We stayed in Kansas with the family. The kids were in seventh heaven roaming around with their cousins. Kyle and I enjoyed visiting and relaxing.


We all went to Omaha for a couple of days. We went to a water park and to the zoo.

The kids loved the polar bear.

Another highlight of the trip was in Florence, Nebraska. We went to the Mormon Trail Center- Winter Quarters. It was a neat experience and the kids listened closely to the stories of the pioneers at the visitors center.

It was sad to walk around the cemetery and see the headstones of pioneers who were not able to complete the journey. There is a beautiful temple right next to the cemetery now. It is a peaceful place. We were glad we were able to go.
