Kansas Trip

Such a fun trip and getaway from all the quarantining this summer! I am so glad I was able to reconnect with all these friends. 

We got to Kansas at about 4 and spent the day warming up with everyone and cooling down from the heat with a swim across the lake to the docks.

 Had a delicious dinner of Kansas BBQ and Ice-Cream Dessert!

 We had an amazing FSY lesson from Mr. Matt and Mrs. Chelsy making clay oil lamps.

 Hanging in the Game room!!

 The next day we woke up and headed to the zoo! Super great art lesson from Mr and Mrs. Walker and had loads of fun including, dip-n-dots, pizza lunch, and library jail!

 Being crazy on the lake!
