Great Papa and Great Mama kind of like Landon...maybe just a little. Papa says that it's a good thing we don't live closer because he'd have Landon super spoiled if we did and I believe it!
Growing up, Landon's Uncle Chris and I always spent a couple of weeks with Mama and Papa during the summer. Mama always bought us a gold fish to take care of while we were there, we got to have ice cream from the ice cream truck, we went swimming, fishing, to vacation bible school at their church. We spent summer evenings on the front porch swing and caught lots and lots of lightening bugs! We also spent countless hours at the neighborhood park where there was the best curly slide and merry-go-round ever! We're pretty darn lucky!! Some of my most favorite childhood memories are from the times we spent with Mama and Papa and I'm so thankful that Landon will get to know how great his Great Papa and Mama are!
Here are a few pictures from our fun weekend! We can't wait to go back!
Landon was tuckered out from the trip up there...so, he and Great Papa took a nap to rest up for the afternoon fun!
While the men went fishing Mama, Aunt Lindy and I took Landon out to the wheat field to get some pictures.
Yep, I believe Great Papa likes our little guy...just a smidge. I think the feeling's mutual.
"Us dat!?"
So, this is what an "eesh" looks like in person. My dada and I watch people catch these on tv!
Great Papa these "eesh" are cool!
They look better on me dad.
The fish you caught was how big? I don't buy it...are you tellin' me the truth dada?
Dada, your hat looks better on me too...
Me me!! Pick me! I want to go fishing!
Wow, there are lots of fun sticks in Kansas!
Time to water the yard guys! Give me a hand over here.
Yay! I got up here all by myself! Let's talk dinner...what's on the menu tonight?
This is my Great Mama and she makes the BEST cinnamon rolls in the entire universe!
Okay Molly, I threw the bottle you're playing with. Now fetch!
Poppy...you're the best! Are you going to take me "eeshing" soon?
When I grow up I want to be just like this kid. He's alllllright.
Look Great Mama! It's Molly!
Vroooom vrooooom! Great Papa where have you been hiding this all my life?! It's SO much fun!
Yeah, that's right...I've got my future fisherman hat. Come on boys, let me show you how it's done!
Alright Dada! I think Poppy hooked a big one for us!
Wow! My very first "eesh" Get the hushpuppies ready cause we're having us a "eesh" fry!
I'm ready to catch another one!!
Hey Uncle Chris! Let me show you how I do this!
See you later Great Papa and Dada! I'll hold down the fort while you go catch some more "eesh"!
This was my Uncle Carl's wagon when he was a kiddo like me. My Aunt Lindy had it restored and I love it!
Dat's Big Bird!
Great Mama, you give the best wagon rides! I can't wait to come back to visit again soon!

He is getting so big! It looks so peaceful there. Becky & I grew up in Kansas until we were 8 years old. I still remember the flat wheat fields.
