The Wonderful Land of OZ

We have spent the past few days enjoying Kansas! We began last Thursday with Ella's first flight. It is amazing how much more you put in a checked bag when you have a 5 month old. Not to mention how much more "interesting" going through security is with "fluids" for Ella. But we made it.


Ella was amazing on the flight. She slept for about half of it and played for the other half. We are only hoping the flight back goes as well.


To say the least we have been busy. There was lots of family to see and events to attend. Mark and Judy actually met us in Kansas City to welcome little Ella and have some good BBQ. And not just any BBQ, but the best ever. (If you are ever in KC, you have to go to Oklahoma Joes).


Of course, Ella's first big adventure was to see the farm. But to see the farm, you have to have a proper hat. It took a few tries, but Ella finally picked out her favorite.


Once she had a hat, her cousin Cole did a great job giving her a tour and showing her the ropes.


After she knew the ropes, there was lots of family to see. First was Grandma Great and Grandma (Nana) & the cousins.


Then she went to Jason's class reunion, the Melvern Fair and parade, and the Lacey Family Reuion. She even found a few friends that were close to her own age.


She even made it to a few baseball games (For cousins Bayleigh & Cole). Of course she had primo seating, Grandpa (Papa) made sure of it.


So far everything has gone great! But man....it can wear a girl out...


Mom, didn't have it so easy....she of course was put to work.
