Wichita trip








Well I better get something on here about the weekend in Wichita. It was a lot of fun and I was glad that Dude was able to go with me. We had a beautiful day to drive to Wichita. When we were going through Lincoln I was watching a flock of birds flying north. She said something about the big airplane. I think she thought it was going to land on us. I started watching the plane. It was HUGE. When it was right over the interstate you could see it said "The United States of America" It looked like it could have been Air Force One. It looked like it was going to land - it was very very low. Then once it got past the runway it started climbing. Then it looked like it was making this great big huge turn. We watched it for a long time and then it headed south. I thought I was going to have to peel her out from under the dash. We drove through a flock of birds and I thought she was gone. We saw 8 or 9 cops on the way down there and only 2 of them didn't have someone stopped.

We got to Amy's and of course she grabbed up the little darlings right away. It was so fun to watch her with the kids. On Saturday we had Lillie and Levi's birthday party. They got alot of cool things. Especially Lillie. She got a lot of Little People things. She just loves them so much. She looks so much like Amy when she was little and I'm sure we could probably find some old pictures of me that look like her too. Robert and the kids arrived on Friday night. It was a good thing. Had more kids to go around so that Dude didn't have them all the time. Cameron kept calling Dude "Dixie" and Bo would say "She's not Dixie - she's Dude" It was a lot of fun with all the kids. I really miss all of them already. I am ready for the next "Grandma fix" I don't think that will happen until April 18th. Robert and the boys will be home to go to the Husker spring game on the 19th. Yes, I will see Amy on March 28th but she won't have the kids. We are going to Women of Faith. I am so looking forward to that. I think it will really be good for both of us to be there together. I am looking forward to a great weekend. Well I just want to thank Dude for going with me to Wichita. It was a lot of fun and we will have to do it again sometime!!! Now for some pictures. (This is going to be hard because I took so many!)
