Summertime Fun!

Thanks to everyone who answered me on twitter and other places about ideas for places to visit when the girls were visiting. We did SO much last week and we had a blast. Well, I did. I’m hoping they did too!

We spent lots of time at the new public pool. Our pool pump broke, so we couldn’t swim at home like we usually do to beat the heat. We had a great time in the water. They had giant water slides and the girls made friends.

We spent lots of time in the car, traveling to one place or another.

We went to the Natural History Museum on the KU Campus in Lawrence, KS. There, we saw lots of animal bones and educational stuff. We also got to see grasshoppers, which they found very exciting.

We visited Clinton Lake for more swimming while we were in Lawrence, where they got to see me get a $20 parking ticket. Did you know you have pay $15 to park in a Kansas State Park? Yeah, neither did I. But, the swimming was fun! Everyone enjoyed going to see the new Disney Pixar flick, UP.

Before giving them back to their parents, we took them to the Renaissance Festival in Jefferson City, that’s put on by the public library. It was incredibly hot and miserable out, but they still managed to have a great time.

I already miss them and can’t wait for their next visit!
