Kansas City

For Memorial weekend we decided to take a trip to Kansas City to see some church sites and visit some friends before we left the midwest.
Addi did not like the car very much. She got very car sick and threw up multiple times while in the car poor girl.
On our way we stopped at Adam-ondi-Ahman.



And at Far West and Haun's Mill. There wasn't anything at Haun's Mill but we stopped and hung out at the temple site at Far West. Addi enjoyed crawling around and taking pictures of Daddy (yes Addi took the picture of Jared with my camera).



Then we finally got to Ashley's house and got to play with Abigail. Addi liked to chase Abby around in her walker and loved to go up and down the stairs. It was good practice since we will have stairs in our new house.



We went to the WOrld War I museum with some friends. We didn't make it in time to go inside but there was lots to see and do outside the museum.






Then on the way home we went to Liberty Jail and other random stops to break up the ride home. We found onther mormon trail spot, Jesse James farm, John Wayne's birth place and bridges of Madison county where we had a little photoshoot.





















We had lots of fun and we will miss our friends Ashley, Jordan and Abigail.

Tulip Festival

We went to the tulip festival the first weekend in may. It was lots of fun and we meet some friends there that have moved away to other areas in Iowa. It was nice to see our friends one last time before we left Iowa. Addi loves to be outside and liked to see all the flowers. Addi also liked to see her first parade.







Remember how small Addi was last year in the shoe. Look here to see.


Here are some of the pretty flowers we saw. I didn't know there was so many different kinds of tulips.
