Kansas City....Here we come!

Well, Kind of.  We had low tire in Denver, so we added some "Fix a Flat" and the next thing you know we blew out a tire.  Had to wait about an hour to get it fixed.  Looks like Ashley thought it was cool to breakdown.

While we were there in Kansas I looked up my father's cousin (Ken and Lou Hale).  What a great visit we had. Talked a lot about some of the relatives and recalled some of stories about my great grandmother.  That was fun.  Ken and Lou....if you see this blog, thank you for letting us come and visit. You are very special to our family. Hope to see  you next year.

This is the front of Sarah's house in Kansas City.  Really cute front yard and a very big back yard.  And look...she has a garage!

Front of house.

Big back yard and all fenced.

I was able to get a few pictures of the inside (kitchen and bedroom).  The house is a little small, but very nice.  You can tell that the owner had put some time into improvements.  Sarah was very happy.  Lots of trees in her neighborhood and very shady.  I think you have to have shade........I could barely stand the humidity.  Sorry Sarah.  Too warm for me.

On the way back to Denver we stopped in a little town in Kansas called Paxico.  What a great place to look a antiques.  The whole town was filled with little shops and great antiques to look at.  Mom and I had fun.

Above was an old saloon in town.  One of the oldest in the area.  It even had a stage for performances.

Couldn't resist taking a picture of mom with a buffalo.

We also saw this great train that was just leaving town.  

We got back to Mark & Erin's house on the 4th of July.  That evening there was a Tornado warning and were were able to see it beginning to form.  It never really completely formed, but did have a pretty long tail.  You can just barely see it over the top of the houses.

Headed to Yellowstone at the end of this week.
