I’m not in Kansas anymore…

… but I was, a little over a week ago!

We went to go visit my great-grandma in Wichita. My grandma came with us, and boy, did we have fun!

My grandma’s favorite brother was there, so there was much silliness that ensued.

(I’m making a semi-weird face because of cutie baby, Ben, yanking on my hair. But I didn’t want to be half-way through a pained expression when the camera flashed. So I maintained my smile. Even though it hurt. But he was adorable, so I didn’t really care. Yay, cute babies!)

(from left to right: ME! My grandma, her brother, great-grandma, my mum, and her cousin.)

One of my favorite parts of the whole trip was when I got to hang out with my 3-month old 2nd cousin, Abigail. It was on the first evening, and she was DELIGHTFUL! I adore her, and she’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo cute… Maybe I need some more ‘O’s, to properly explain the cuteness. Or, better yet, PICTURES!

(the last one is my fave. LOOK AT ABIGAIL’S CUTE FACE! … I’m okay now =D …maybe)

Here’s a couple more pictures. These are of the trip home.

(that’s my girl doggy, Rhiannon. Isn’t she so cute?)

       AND NOW: for the highlight picture. The most bestest (it’s a word, and you know it…) picture EVER!

‘Nuff said.

Well, maybe not. I will say one more thing: Rhiannon’s expression? Priceless.

(EDIT: Oops! I was way off on picture size. Hope this fixed it. TA!)

Visiting the Grand-Parental Units (part 2- The Flight)

Hola!

So, I am lame.

I really did mean to post this Tuesday morning, but I had an orthodontic appointment. Then shopping. Then lunch with my dad. Then a dental cleaning. Then I went to my BFF’s house. Then, I went to my YW’s president’s house to help assemble stuff for Mutual tonight. Then I went to the writer’s workshop thing that’s every Tuesday night. Then, the next day, when I was about to post it, our electricity went out, so the laptop couldn’t connect to the computer. Then, I don’t have any good excuses for Thursday and Friday. I spaced it, I guess. But yesterday was busy too… I’ll post about it! Well, I think it’s safe to say that I was very busy this week!

Okay, so here’s some fun pictures of the airport. We ate at TGI Friday’s, and it was really good! I thought that I had taken a picture of my food, to thrill all of your minds, but apparently not. So, you’ll have to make due without photographic evidence of my mushroom and swiss burger… Sorry!

Isn’t that ceiling awesome? It was amazing how far down it went. I loved it =D

After we ate, we went through security, and sat down at our gate. Our plane was on time, but they had maintenance issues, so after 45 minutes, they switched us to a different gate, where we had to wait for 30 minutes. So, long story short: it took a really long time.

Finally on the plane! Hi, Grandma!

 

And, I’m pretty sure that this is me being taken over by some alien entity, or somesuch thing:

So, we got home, got stuck in ridiculously horrid traffic, ate dinner, escaped, and went home. Ah, it felt good to be back, even though I really enjoyed my 10-day visit, and I miss lots of things (the yogurt parfaits, the carrot cake, the big screen TV, my personal suite, the intercom (boy, was that fun!), the beautiful rain, the autumn weather and pretty tree colors, etc…)

Wow… I had a lot of fun =)
