On the road...

Well we took off early this morning to head to KC for an early Christmas. My SIL is pregnant, so we decided to come down and have Christmas at her house! :) So we wanted to take our time getting to KC since we couldn't check in until early afternoon.

We went on a little trip down memory lane. We stopped at G-Gpas to drop in and say hello. We took him a couple Christmas presents and a cherry pie. He loves seeing the boys, and the boys love seeing him and going to his farm. Gpa had some chickens, that lead to some amusement for the boys. After we left we drove to PSC to check out all the changes they have made to the campus since we have graduated. The theater was a huge part of my life when I was in college, but now there are no more plays that are put on. That was the only change that had upset me. For the most part they have done an amazing job changing some of the old buildings to reflect a more modern appeal. We had to pick up Alumni gear too! :) There are so many good memories that DH and I both have about college and the towns we lived in.

For part of a Christmas persent to the boys we decided to stay one night at the Great Wolf Lodge. We checked in about 1:00 and we were in the water park by 1:15! I can't post any pictures right now, but I will post some when we get home!

After about 3 hours of swimming we decided to go out to eat. The boys had talked me into Famous Dave's. It has been so long since I have eaten B-B-Q; now I kept think that there was some reason why I haven't eaten it in so long, but at the time I couldn't remember. Some times certain B-B-Qs are just a little to spicy, and I thought that was why I had eaten it. Then we get in there. I order some ribs and roasted chicken. DH & ODS spend there time amusing themselves with trying all the different sauces and watching each other's faces! :) So our food finally arrives...no utensils! Now I remember! I have long nails and a fettish with keeping my hands clean. I was having some majors issues as we ate. It was quit comical - I was even laughing at myself. Picking...pulling...prodding...wiping! LOL!!

After supper we went to Cabella's. The boys were amazed with all the animals around the store. I was impressed with the fighting elephants.

Well - we need to head back to the water park...the natives are restless.
