Cross Country Road Trip Day 5....

Because we had to bypass

yellowstone due to weather,

we were able to take a fun day

at the Great Wolf Lodge

in Kansas City, Kansas.

I rode shotgun today

(followed by the two yahoos pictures above)

for the short drive from Iowa

to Kansas City,

so I will be your photographer for this leg.

Not much as far as scenery goes

since the drive was so short,

but I did capture a few farms and

people doing farm things.

I wonder how I would do living on a farm?

It seems so ideal and American,

but I'm so not a morning person.

My chickens would starve and

my cows would explode from having

too much milk.

Nope, I don't think a farm would suit me very well.

But I would like a cute little place like this

complete with an American flag

and a weathered barn.

I'd use it

just to relax a little once in a while,

wear a flowy dress with little flowers on it,

use words like darlin' and sugar,

ring one of those triangle things

to let all of my cowboys know that

dinner is ready,

and pretend that I live off the land

and don't care about where the nearest

shopping mall or starbucks is.

And I don't see any cows or chickens here,

so I think I'd be fine for a few days.

Plus who can resist a completely red house?

You could feel the excitement in the car

when we first caught a glimpse of

the Great Wolf Lodge!

I mean look at this place!

It's a kid's wonderland!

All three of them had a blast!!

And David LOVES waterparks,

so he really enjoyed our stay there too.

There are way too many photos to edit from

our stay there,

so here are some highlights....

I know, huh?

Sooooo cute!!

She's a little fish now!

A far cry from last summer when

we couldn't get her off of the steps

of any pool we were in!

Sorry there is not much comentary tonight,

but I think these photos speak for themselves.

Plus I am soooo tired after our

nine hour drive today.

I will share photos from our adventure

through Kansas, Missouri,

Indianna and finally to a hotel

in Kentucky.

(yes we did that all in one day!)

For now,

good night blog friends

and sweet dreams!
