Missouri Fun in the Sun...

We are so incredibly fortunate to have jobs that we can work from anywhere. With family being so far away it is nice to spend some quality time with everyone. Here is a glimpse into our 3 week vacation (3 separate posts)... 5 flights, 6 different places to sleep, 3 time zones all with 2 kiddos under the age of 3. We had tons of fun and loved every minute of it.

Sydney loves to ride Poppo's "tractor" aka lawn mower. The first thing she said when we got off the plane is "when are we going to ride the tractor". So the minute we got there that is just what we did! She was in heaven!

Grammy giving Syd a mani and pedi:)
Fishing with Dad! They caught two "baby" fish. They were SO excited they caught one!

Having fun on the Neikamp's boat!


Yummy...otter pops! Todd what did you say you eat TWO at a time okay I'll have TWO (Syd)
Syd and Dane riding the wave runner. Syd kept saying faster and loved every minute.

Getting serenaded by Tom and Todd. They are amazing and the kids LOVED it!
So glad we got to hang out with Great Papa and Petch!

Cruizin'....

We are so blessed to have gone on this amazing cruise! Great Nan turns 93 in October and has always wanted to get the entire family together. So all 20 of us laughed, cried, danced and had an all around fantastic time for one week!

The whole clan together. The second picture is Great Nan with the grand/great grandkids
Mr. Handsome all dolled up:)
Having fun with cousin Harper!

Dane and Aunt Ker pushing Harper in the stroller headed for some fun in the sun at the beach!

I think Sydney did this water slide 1,000 times in a row.
Scuba time! Half Moon Cay.

Having fun in our room...
Syd so proud of the froggy towel that was waiting in the room after dinner!

Miss Syd and her cousin Molly. They had so much fun together!

Every night we had a formal 3 hour sit down dinner. Let's just say with 7 kids under the age of 5 it provided a lot of entertainment. Here is Dane doing a magic trick. Not sure how this happened or how I even captured it...pretty funny though!

Seriously folks it was a great trip but man I'm wiped out!
