Legoland

Day 4 of our trip belonged to Legoland California!!  Funny thing - we had to drive about an hour south to reach our destination.  Not bad, considering a 5 hour drive awaited us that night!

Anyway, we arrived at Legoland mid-morning and set out to explore what the park had to offer - rides, Lego statues, mini-figure trading, and of course, the big store!  There is even water park, but we didn't have a chance to get there.  While our family isn't big into rides, this was a good park for non-riders.  Caiden didn't get too adventurous, but I RODE A ROLLER COASTER!  For those who ride roller coasters, you would have been disappointed.  It was perfect for me, though.  And we discovered that Delaney likes rides!

Throughout the summer, the kids had been earning tickets to spend on our trip.  Amazingly, they each had enough to buy a Lego set.  Caiden found a technic skid loader, Cambry bought a jewelry box kit, and Delaney bought a little skate park set.

This day was a highlight for both Delaney and Cambry - their favorite day!  Don't worry - Caiden's favorite day would come later. . .

My girls know these characters by name!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...
