Saturday.

This Saturday we were determined to check some activities off our list of "Things to do before we leave Kansas." We just found out that Lawrence has a farmers' market, so yesterday morning we started out our day there. It was really fun; they had such pretty flowers and yummy breads. We will definitely try to make it back there as much as possible.





We then headed into Independence. We had heard that the Truman Presidential Library and Museum was really interesting and we have been wanting to go for a while.







While we were in Independence we went over to the Church's Visitors' Center. The sister missionary giving the tour was so sweet to try to keep Owen's attention, but Owen just kept asking to see more horses. The visitors' center had a little children's play area (complete with horse and wagon) that we had a hard time pulling Owen away from!




It was a fun Saturday and we are glad we live so close to so many Church history sites.

Coming Back.

Well we made the journey. We packed the car so full that when we went to put Owen in it on Monday morning, he took one look and asked "where did my car seat go?"

We had a fun final month full of dinners with friends, summer evenings with family, and sad good byes.

We spent an evening up in Kamas with friends at their cabin and enjoyed the beautiful mountains, Owen kept galloping around pretending he was a horse.



We went down to liberty park with the Hinckley cousins let Owen ride the carousel, he loved every minute.



We walked up to Ensign Peak, Owen loved walking all by himself and kept repeating "I'm a hiker just like Daddy and Pops."



We are happy to be back and get going into school; Kansas is green and full of sunflowers and we are looking forward to the beautiful Fall weather (the humidity is not our favorite!)
