Back in Kansas...

Everyone is SO excited to be in Kansas because we are only 1 state away on our way home.

Finished my book...

I finally finished the book Insignia. The book was a futuristic thriller that combined humanity with technology. I will start the 2nd book called Vortex soon and the 3rd book Catalyst comes out in October. I am now starting to read the book Sunrise. It's the 3rd book in the Ashfall series after Ashfall and Ashen Winter. The series is about a Yellowstone supervolcano erupting and destroying life as we know it in true post-apocalyptic fashion. 

When in Texas ... Buy a Hat

I borrowed my Dad's safari hat for the Grand Canyon raft trip. I loved it so much that I got myself one. This will be a nice hat to wear to Ruby's softball tournaments and Mac's soccer games. 

Buck and Doe...

On our way to Peach Springs for our Grand Canyon raft trip, we passed a road called Buck And Doe Road. This reminded us of before Mac and Ruby were born our Grampy Papa named Mac and Ruby "Buck and Doe."  That's what he called when he saw them. We will always remember you Grampy Papa. 

Time in Texas...

We finally made it to Amarillo Texas. The kids were going to swim but someone vomited in the pool and it closed the pool at least we got a reduced rate on our rooms. Breakfast was good and we are about to head back to Kearney  Had a great vacation. 

Bow and Arrow Woes...

Mac bought a bow and arrow at a gas station in Chandler, Arizona. He got very frustrated trying to figure out how to shoot it. He kept muttering "this is a rip off. I wasted 7 bucks."  Mom saved the day by figuring it out. Whew!!!

My New Poncho...

We stopped in Page, Arizona to gas up and I found a Mexican poncho in Kearney Bulldog colors. I'm still wearing it in the car since it's chilly from the air conditioning.
