Kansas, for a bit


Our trip to Kansas was quick and busy, providing me with very few pics to share. I was in a dear friend's wedding, leaving P with his Grams for one day and Grandpapa for another. (There were no tough and teary departures this trip! We typically won't leave P if he isn't interested in being left... but that is virtually All of the Time :) And since he couldn't really be an extra bridesmaid, we had to work this one out. So, after some serious heart to hearts ahead of time P was able to discuss his worries and figure out solutions. It was cool to behold.) In addition P was sick Twice while we were there, eating up a sizable amount of our trip.

But this busy-ness was accented with lots of outdoor play. P rode in his vehicles and on Gramps' ranger. We hiked in the woods, counting the Enormous snails and collecting branches and stumps to make the block set P has been wanting. He was Very Excited to use the big saw, but less than thrilled with the big volume. Armed with noise canceling headphones (thanks Uncle Cash!) he helped saw and scrub these sticks into beautiful stackers. He also made sure to keep Grams busy every moment of her day:) The night before we left he got to see Grandpapa again and Uncle Ian too (about whom he'd had a feverish dream the night before). As Ian and P played, P asked him "do you want to come back with us and have a sleep over?" He just luuuuvs his family:) :)

The color on the below video is a bit funky. P just adores the video option and buttons often get pressed :)
