Road Trip to Kingman

The boys and I took a little road trip this week to this lovely farm near Kingman:

to visit our friends (technically the boys are third cousins) Braden & Luke and their mom Kara! That third cousin bit was hard for the boys to make sense of. :-)

We had a great time discovering all sorts of things at Kara's parents' farm. The train room was a huge hit.

 Kara's dad has put together quite a wonderland of train and farm fun in this room. The boys had a great time making the trains go. We had to be careful with the trains to make sure nothing was broken, but the farm equipment was just as much fun.

 Luke got tangled up in a shed, but thankfully the bigger boys could help him out of it.

 The only bad thing was that it was hot! So, after a little while we decided to check out the toys INSIDE the house.

 It was great to catch up with Kara again - it'd been too long since our last visit. We were interrupted a lot by the commotion of the boys, but not because they were fighting. They played together really well.

 Back  outside we got to explore some more buildings and check out the different tractors, trucks and hay bales we could find.

  They have a LOVELY bed and breakfast on their farm. They converted an old dairy barn into a three bedroom B&B. It's hard to believe it was a dairy barn when you're inside it. But from the outside you can more easily imagine it based on where some windows are located, etc. They did such a nice job and it's all so new yet comfy and cozy too.

 It was so good to see where my friend grew up and where they stay when they come to Kansas now. We have hopes of making a visit to their house in Nebraska this fall - we'll see how the timing works out this year.

Such cute and ornery boys. It's hard to believe that both Levi and Braden will start kindergarten next month!
