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!

Mini figure trading is a big thing - the kids
can bring old mini figures and trade with
the mini figures on park workers' nametags.

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...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
