Kristin was in KC this week with Lewis & Clark kids at SkillsUSA nationals competition. Why do I mention this? Because it means that we didn't get in our weekly adventure with the kids and I really missed her. It's so odd when your sister, who you work with and speak with every day (usually multiple times per day) is out of town, and not only that, but BUSY! (How dare she be busy!) I missed Kristin, and Ella missed her cousins. I knew I had to plan something big to make up for it....but what? How about asking Nick on his day off to come with me and the kids to Grant's Farm, on a day when I knew it'd be hot? Okay....Here's the thing, starting on WED, temps will be at 108. However, the 25th was a TUES and highs would only get around 95ish. That means if we get there when they open (around 8-9), we can get there, look around, eat lunch, and be gone by 12, 1 at the latest. Although that's always the plan, and usually I can accomplish said plan with Kristin, somehow with Nick, we move slower. So it was pretty hot when we left, but we had a great time together. Here are some pictures. There are lots of cool animals, and I took pictures of them, but let's be honest, if there's not people in the picture, to me, it's not worth my time in uploading it! So I'm not posting pics of the buffalo, mules, horses, camels, etc....
