Cindy and the boys visited the Kansas side of our family for 8 brutally hot days where temperatures peaked at 108 degrees. The boys both enjoyed throwing up during the course of the visit, a real must when visiting the American Prairie. When they felt well, they enjoyed playing with their cousins, big and small (Brittany and Caleb are the big ones; Tristen and Natalie are the small ones) bouncing on Aunt K.K's trampoline, going to two different sprinkler parks, and playing with Junior the Cat (a true farm cat in appearance but the toast of the town, at least Jack's town anyway).
The boys introduced cousin Tristen to the wonders of Nintendo DS while Cindy had the chance to meet with high school friends. Cindy also took the boys to pay their respects to our dearly departed Papa Jack which proved helpful to Quinn in particular.
The boys alternated between homesickness and not wanting to leave which is just a reflection of how we all feel. It would be nice not to have to choose.
It's been a couple of months since we posted some shots of our flower garden. I took a closeup of one of our vases to show the bounty of the harvest. There have been multiple blooms throughout this hot summer. Once again, the photos don't really do the garden itself justice but suffice to say, we are happy with the results of our season long effort.
