There is something completely wholesome and refreshing about traveling back to where your very roots began. We try our hardest to make it back to Kansas once a year to visit family. Often our Kansas trip is the only little summer vacation we are able to sneak in and I'm extremely grateful for the quality time that is well spent with our Kansas family. My grandma who turned 80 this year and hasn't let age slow her down an ounce, goes out of her way to entertain, feed, and well feed us some more. We all leave heavy hearted and a few pounds more. Every night we had a family get together with yummy food and desserts. Aunt Julie ended up being the hostess with the mostest this year and opened her doors and kitchen to our crazy crowd, she definitely spoiled us with delicious meals. The kids enjoyed an array of swimming, fireworks, BBQ's, goat washing, redneck water slides, and camp outs. We were even able to sneak in a little maternity shoot to capture the growing baby bump. I revel in the memories that were created when I was a child growing up in Kansas and want those same memories for my children. Saying goodbye is always the hardest part of the trip but I've began to look at goodbyes as temporary, until our next adventure, I will keep you in my heart and prayers. A hearty family renunion is in the making for our next Kansas trip and we are ecstatic to see family that we haven't captured moments with in a very long time.
