No pictures?

Where have we been? KC!!! Well, first I went down to Utah to help take care of Brian's cousins while his Aunt and Uncle were crusin' Alaska, but then we departed on our all night drive to KC! We were exhausted by the time we got there, but Landen did awesome since he slept most of the trip! We went out for Ben's High School graduation (Brian's baby brother), and sadly we only took pictures from his graduation! So I'll just have to tell you everything else we did ;)





Our first night there we met up with Brian's dad and stayed at a hotel so that we wouldn't have to drive farther south, plus his stepkids really enjoyed playing in the pool (as did Landen). We also went out to dinner at Oklahoma Joe's. I was quite disappointed! I think after everyone had been talking about how amazing it was, I had my standards set too high. I wish we'd gone to Jackstack! (these are both barbecue places, if you know anything about KC, it's that they're famous for their BBQ and everyone has a very strong opinion of their favorites).

The next day we were SUPPOSED to go to a KC Royal's game, but it rained all day (actually it rained the whole time we were there except for 1 day!), so we went to my brother's house and grilled instead and watched the game on TV. Good thing we didn't go, they lost anyway after having a 4 point lead most of the game...so sad.

Sunday was graduation, so other than going to church and graduation, we didn't do much of else. Monday we went to Ben's senior recital then had his open house with TONS of yummy food than I'm sure they're still trying to eat (35 pounds of pulled pork!). The rest of the time was spent hanging out with family and good friends until we left again for our overnight trip. Sorry this has been such a long post, but to end here are my favorite places to eat that we can't find here in good old Idaho:

1. Jackstack (we have ordered it online)

2. Mr. Goodcents (yummy sub sandwiches)

3. Sheridan's (frozen custard)

4. Panera Bread (nothing compares!)

Landen eating the snow on the deck...yes, the snow
