Our final 24 hours in St. Louis included seeing some VERY special people - first, we got to spend some more time with Aunt Kathy.
Then it was over to Uncle Mike's house.....
where our very, very dear friend John had made the drive down from Ohio to see us.
Saturday, it finally stopped raining!!!! Saturday morning we had a small break in the weather. The only thing that the girls really, really wanted to do all week was go to the zoo. We had a three hour window of time on Saturday and Becky and Cami had been so patient all week with all the doctor appointments that we really wanted to make it happened.
Aunt Kathy came with us too - loved us some penguins!
Sunday morning - it was up and away again....in the rain again......!
On the drive to Kansas City, we saw us some real honest to goodness weather. Some serious cell thunderstorms rolled over us on the drive - the non-weather experienced girls handled it fairly well!
It took us a while to get there, but we finally got to Kansas City. Ashlee and the girls were waiting for us - and we did a little more swimming!
Besides the cool hotel pool and another grand baby fix...the real attraction and highlight of Kansas City are these people.
These people - my Aunt Karen and Uncle Terry - knew me before I was born. They have been a staple in my life forever. I love them - and it seemed only fitting that on Father's Day - I got to spend some time with the man who was a second father to me.
We had a great dinner with them - and it was so nice for them to get to meet know only all my girls - but the babies too!
The amazing woman whose name I share - love her and am so blessed by her!
We are westward bound now. It has been a great trip so far - and we have loved all our time with all of our loved ones, but we are sort of ready to be home.
