back to the ozarks

We were able to sneak down to West Plains last week to see the family - we left strategically at 3 am so the boys would sleep during the car ride. Our feeble attempt at planning ahead was thwarted, however, when Calvin woke up in the transfer to the car and, once realizing what was happening, began chanting "Missouri, Missouri, Missouri" with a gleam in his eye. It's pretty hard to compete with Uncle Willy.


Pit stop at the arch.


Benefit of months of flooding is that everything turns unbelievably green.

Itch was back to help teach the little guys how to play.

Opa took everyone fishing, and everyone had wiggling fish to reel in soon.




Carolee in her snazzy mud boots was up to the task of trying to keep Noah
from charging the herd of cows.


Louis and Noah traveling in the bus - armed with plenty of crackers.


Willy and Calvin only had to be bribed with one bag of rainbow popcorn to cheer Louis and Sidney on in their respective soccer games.

Love the boots, such a fashion statement, looks like you had a good time. I swear worms and little boys are the best thing ever.
