Last week we took a vacation to Kansas City to see Kirk's side of the family. Jacob, Mel and I drove up on Tuesday. I was very nervous to drive the 9 hours by myself, but Jake was perfect. In fact, we had to stop more times because of my pregnant bladder, than for him! We got to KC about 5:30 in the evening. Kirk flew up on Friday evening after work. We had so much fun. My sister-in-law was there with her baby, Eva, and her husband Gerard came a few days later. My in-laws have huge yard, so Jake had a ball running around and playing on their swing set. We also got a kiddie pool so they could cool off a little. One of the neighbors let us use their pool, so Carolyn and I took Jacob and Eva swimming one afternoon. We also visited the Deanna Rose Farmstead. I used to go to the Farmstead all the time when I was younger, but they have changed it so much. It is a wonderful place to take the kiddos. On Sunday, July 3rd we had a family picnic to celebrate the 4th of July. Jake got to go swimming again and run around. He even lasted long enough to see some fireworks. We had a wonderful time visiting with Kirk's family and hopefully we can get up there again soon!
This summer is flying by! Up next... in 2 weeks we are flying to Portland and Kirk will take off from there for a fishing trip to Alaska and I will stay in Portland and hang out with my family.

Sweet Miss Eva.
Wild man.... I am sure he was running away trying to hide from me in this picture.
Cousin story time.
Such a cutie pie!

Sweet boy.
Beautiful picture of the Spexarth family.
He looks so innocent, but in fact, he thought he was being naughty by holding onto that monitor so he was running away from me.

Swimming with Uncle Clay. He could have stayed in that car all night long.
