I know we've been rather silent here of late! That does not mean our life has been boring though! "Busy" seems to be the normal now - not just an occasional excuse for lack of posting. Bethany and I (Kara) will try to get you all (those who haven't given up on us yet) updated a little on at least our highlights of the past few months.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, so here is the promised post. I (Bethany) am not posting very many pictures of the museum because you will just have to see it for yourself. You can double click on the pictures for a larger view.

We met up with Justin, Laura & the boys in KC so we could travel together and help entertain the boys on the long journey there and back. Actually, I think the entertainment went both ways. ;-)
Stopping for lunch and some exercise.
The house (or "mansion" as we called it) worked out great. There was plenty of room to run around, and we were far enough away from the neighbors that we didn't have to worry about our noisy crowd. :-)

John got sick on the way up, so he and Mom stayed back our first day at the museum. Thankfully, John felt better the next day and they were able to join us at the museum.
At the Buddy Davis concert.
Most of the cousins went to this snake workshop! It was really cool. I finally got to hold a big python!!
Feeding the goats in their petting zoo.
It was beautiful weather on Sunday morning, so we all gathered outside for a time of worship and sharing together.
Enjoying the nephews!

We passed the St. Louis Arch on the way there and back, and this cross (some kind of memorial) we saw on the way there. We ran into a lot of construction work on our way up, so we took a different route home.
The whole group.
We all really enjoyed the museum, and I would encourage all of you out there not to miss an opportunity to go. It's a long way from KS, but it was well worth the drive. We hope to visit them again in the near future. If any of you decide to go, we have several lifetime guest passes that we want to share... so please let us know!
