The Kelsey's

We had a great trip to Kansas.  Thanks to Jill’s portable DVD player the kids were relatively fight free (we have to get us one of those).  Usually we stay in a hotel room when we go and do a Biblical peacemaking weekend.  But this time we were going outside of our conference so it was more like a visit with friends where we just happened to be sharing instead of the other way around.  So we broke our rule and stayed with the Johnston’s.  They have a great place with lots of land, a trail to walk, and a dog named Zoe – which was a little bit of a challenge for our family’s canine neuroses.

Joshua got a picture of us all – this was just as we were leaving.

The kids had fun – here are the boys.

And the girls had fun too, due in part to the boys being out of their hair.  (Caleb is the master of the frames that come with the camera…)

Joshua got to ride bikes around.  The boys smashed up lego cars.  Anything built to be broken is a genius toy idea!  The girls got to talk and hang out together.

Now Nathan did get sick on Sabbath morning.  This caused Laura to have to stay home for Sabbath School and church, but he made a quick recovery after a nap and keeping down some crackers.  So they joined us up at the church in the afternoon.  In the evening there was a talent share as a church social.  Yes, we have video, but for the sake of people we don’t even know – we won’t make them famous.  It was fun.
