Greg, Kimber, & I drove down to Kansas City to meet Ryan and his family on March 5th. We stayed at a really fun lodge, Great Wolf Lodge. I haven't seen Ryan for about 4 years and Greg hasn't seen him for about 10 years. Way to long of time.
At the lodge there was a very fun water park. Kimber could have spent all day there if we let him. There was a slides for little kids under 48". He loved it and finally put his head under water without complaining. He would even lay on his back to go down the slide. Ryan even took him a "Big Boy" water slide. He did great! Kimber then took Greg down the water slide.
Kimber was able to spend a lot of time with his cousin, Samantha. Samantha is almost 5 years old and is about an inch taller than Kimber, but Kimber weights about 5 lbs more than Samantha. The two of them wanted to spend all their time together. They were having so much fun. The lodge had a "search" game for them to play. They had a wand that they would point at different items throughout the lodge and they would gather gold coins and different items. They learned how to share due to that they only got 1 wand. They would take turns with pointing it to the different items.
Of course, since there was a Cabelas next door, we had to stop in and look around. Kimber loves looking at all the animals.Greg took Ryan and Erick to Bass Pro Shop to go shooting. Ryan stated that that part of the trip was Erick's best part. They all had fun shooting though.
We left on the 7th to come back home. Kimber was very sad and didn't want to leave. The drive was nice. Kimber had his own little DVD player and had head phones on. Greg & I were able to listen to our own music or talk. Greg even took a nap on the way home.
We had a lot of fun on this trip. I am glad that we were able to do it since Ryan has now been deployed to Iraq, for the 3rd time. I know that everyone will miss him while he is gone and hope and pray for his safe return home.
Thank you Ryan & Tera for the wonderful trip!!!!
This looks like fun!
