Missouri (va)CATION

Well we have spent the last week out with family in Missouri. We had a very nice time hanging out with everyone. We were the perfect balance of on the go and stay at home while there so that was also great. Here's how the week went down:
Tuesday...drive to Missouri and arrive around 11:30 at night, sit up and talk for a few more hours
Wednesday... Hang out, shop, go to the horse barn so the kids can meet the horses
Thursday...I go trail riding for 4+ hours while Mom and the kids hang out and play at the park
Friday... Hang out with Katie and go to the Relay for Life (which was awesome just like always)
Saturday....Go to the St Louis Mills with my cousins girlfriend, proceed to lose Toby, freak out, look everywhere, get mall security who had him, love on him and realize how much worse it could have been. Hear the wake up call loud and clear from God and I have wisened up. Saturday night was a surprise party for my uncle.
Sunday...visit some more before starting our trek home, get tired, stop for the night
Monday...made it home in the late afternoon cause the kids were NOT into driving for a second day
And here are some of the pics....for more you'd have to check out facebook. I want this one Mommy!

Wow - what a great trip! I'm so jealous - I've never been on a horse! That's so cool that now your kids have, too - I'm major impressed!
So many great pics (and memories!!)
