Road Trip'en.

We {mom}wanted to take a short trip somewhere before school on the homestead begins. 

Our first stop {naturally} was to see the cousins who moved just a wee bit closer. 

{Only 4 hours away?! We'll take it.}

I didn't capture many pictures as we were all busy playing and laughing. But I did manage to capture Marin and Nora having a great time beautifying. 

Marin, teaching Nora the art of nail drying.

Sweet, sweet girl, doing her thing.

Sol, getting in the action.

{Which his dad loooooved}

Nora is thrilled with the result.

Showing off their nails.

{Beautiful}

We had such a great time, is was hard to leave. Our first of many visits.

{Thank you Rhodes family for your hospitality! We love you guys.}

A beautiful time.

We then headed to Kansas City for a quick overnight stay and a visit to Legoland 

Made a quick stop at the Crayola Factory to do us some doodling. 

In the belly of beast, watching how Legos are made.

Getting our hands 'dirty,' playing with the legos.

Having a good time.

Enjoying the indoor slide.

Riding the animals made of legos.

Taking in the 3D show.

Looking good.

Real good.

Nora, making some lego cupcakes.

Their favorite spot, the race car area.

{Where we spent approximately 84.2 hours....roughly}

Sam, ready to race the car he made.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

{The funniest part was observing how laid back the kids were and how competitive their dads were.}

Shep opted for the tall and fast ramp.

{No surprise there}

Excited

{A little}

Sol and the sweet race car he put together.

Racing it.

Sam, still racing.

On your marks.....get set......go!

A good looking race car.

Proud of his work.

Nora, loved racing too.

{She told the boys to "Move, move!" as she was coming through the crowd to race her car and they parted like Red Sea}

A great time.

Thankful....
