Over the 4th of July we went to Kansas to visit Ryan's parents. Claire was able to meet her Aunts and Uncles for the first time! We were worried how she would react with all the new people and with sleeping at a new place but we have now realized Claire is a champ! She really was so comfortable with everyone-still wanted to be with me at all times-but wasn't scared of meeting new people. We were so thankful.
There's this cute little park in KS where we like to play. They have these little Wizard of Oz cut-outs and we especially liked them this year because we just finished reading The Wizard of Oz! (Random fact- in the book Dorothy's red slippers are actually silver!!)
This was also especially fun because we now have Dorothy!!
and scarecrow!!
This was also Claire's first time on the carousal!
We also went on a train ride!
Of course we had to pose for a few pictures.
The kids also love to play outside at Grandma and Grandpa's.
Fireworks are always a hit in KS!!
We always take a family photo!
This was a very fast trip but we were able to see a few friends while we were there. Here's Ryan and his good friend Justin with all of the kids!
Claire also got to meet her Great-Grandma and Grandpa! (Along with Great Aunt/Uncles) Bad picture but I should have downloaded a better one-there are much better ones where you can see Claire!
We also got to see Maya and Nolan! Too quick as usual but it was so fun to see them.
Claire actually slept fairly well the entire time which was such a relief. I was worried about how she would do. After this trip we were home a week and then headed up to my parents' cabin! Busy busy summer! :)
