Our trip started on June 25. Mike and I decided that it would be fun to take the northern route through Wyoming and Nebraska then south through a little bit of Iowa, and Missouri. We figured it would be great to see a lot of the U.S. before we leave it for 3 years. While we were in Nebraska we stopped by a train yard with working trains. The kids loved seeing all the trains.
Of course we saw a lot of farmland. I think the kids were tired of us pointing out every Cow, Sheep, and horse we saw on the side of the road. 
We arrived late Saturday night in Kansas. Steve, Francine, and kids arrived Sunday afternoon. We were all together 6 adults and 10 kids. We had so much fun and all the kids got a lot great. Kyle and Aidan were immediately buddies. By the end of the trip they were wearing matching clothing. Sarah and Stevie became BFF. Sarah would save a seat for Stevie at the dinner table. "That's were my Best Friend is sitting," she would say. We are going to miss everyone when we move. I'm glad that we had this opportunity to invade Bob and Olivia's house for the week. Here are some pictures of the week.
We were there for 4th of July, and saw some awesome fireworks.

One last picture before we loaded the kids up and started our trip back to California.
Thank you Bob and Olivia for a wonderful time.
On our way back to California we stopped in Colorado at the dinosaur museum. We had stopped there 6 years earlier on our previous trip out to Kansas. The kids love this museum filled with robotic dinosaurs and bones.
The next time I write in this blog we will be living in Japan. Our next adventure is beginning.
GOOD TIMES!!! Thanks for making the long trip to see us! Glad you made a post. I am sooo looking forward to many, many more! ;-)
