Family vacation... sort of

At the last minute Dani ditched their plans to to to Minneapolis on vacation and asked if we would be interested in going to Branson with them..... of course we would! We have toyed with the idea of doing a big family vacation over the summer and this might be a nice road test.

Of course every vacation should have beer and plenty of it!

There was a pool so of course we spent some time there!

Except for Papa, who never gets in the pool!!

There was a trip to the zoo to see lots of fish, singing Dingoes, little monkeys and lots of snakes...

And vacation would not be complete without a trip to a local quilt shop... and this one did not disappoint!

AJ and Karly came up to join us!

And there was a boat and some lake swimming!

And of course a trip to McDonald's with Mimi and Papa...ice cream was the best part!

And of course shopping with Mimi to buy Roxy her own baby bottle!

And Roxy never went hungry again....

Hmmm.....bad hair day?

Like Father, like Daughter...the apple did not fall to far from the tree!

Papa and Daddy teaching Madden how to play farm..."don't forget to load up the dead cows!"

(we are not sure what is going on with the diaper....)

And the evenings would not be complete with out bath time with Papa....

We will miss getting our morning wake up call "Mimi, Papa!!" and little footsteps running into our room and the cutest little girl jumping in bed to join us!

We are definitely going to do this again... but next time we are hoping the while family will join us. All we need to do is find a place that will hold 10 adults and 3 kids!!

Let's start again....

WOW...Where do you start? You would of thought that I would of wanted to do this blog during the pandemic...but I didn't. I always wonder why I start and stop...why I can't keep up. Maybe I run out of things to say or maybe there is just too much going on to share my thoughts on a blog post. Who knows? What did get me starting to think about blogging again was a question that was asked from someone I follow...."how do you record your projects, do you use Instagram, Facebook, blog, paper..?" Which led to a bigger question... what do you want to record... your life, your projects, your travels?? That is alot to put out to the world.. But I think what I do want to record are my projects...the hows, they whys and especially the "whats". What yarn did I use to make that teddy bear, what size needle did I use to knit that blanket, what was the free pattern for that quilt? So here I am again attempting to document yet again. I am real...

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

July Happenings...

Since these are catch up posts for the month of July, here are the other happenings.... What do you do with all of those flowers left over from a wedding? You decorate your house with them! Hubby had a birthday... And a visit was made to see great-grandpa in Lawrence. Someone loved moving the bed up and down. Three generations of the Pacumbaba clan These mug rugs were made for hard working colleagues who had dealt with the fire recovery and are still dealing with the fire recovery. The inspiration for the mug rugs came from here . Mimi got a new house cleaner... And as a reward she got to spend lots of time at the pool... eating snacks of course! And Mimi and Papa did some baby sitting... We did not know we weren't supposed to play with Mama's makeup... And another visit was made to celebrate dad's birthday... And since it is July, it is peach jam time! We got our bikes out for the first t...
