Paisley got a backpack that will become her 72 hour kit/flight kit. It has wheels so she will be able to pull her things in case we have to leave after an emergency. It ended up seeming very appropriate that we bought it yesterday since we had a tornado watch for 9 hours yesterday evening until early this morning. All who have been to Kansas know how well I handle those kinds of situations (not very well, for those of you that don't know).
Then with the help of the Whelchel's GPS we headed to a local park for a picnic. It was a very nice park with a couple cute bridges and nice picnic tables. We had a very fun time at lunch.
We then continued northeast toward Abilene Kansas. There we first stopped at the Russell Stover Chocolate factory and outlet store. It was an incredible site. There were thousands of boxes of chocolates for crazy prices like 4 for $9.99. Probably needless to say we bought a few.
We ended our day in Abilene at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. We checked the movie of Dwight D. Eisenhower's life and presidency. Then we toured his childhood home. It was all very interesting. We sure like Ike!We had a great first day with the Whelchel's. Today as soon as Jason gets home from work we will jump in the car and head off for a fun Memorial Day weekend in Omaha Nebraska. Stay tuned for some fun highlights of that trip!
You know how the saying goes, "You haven't been to Kansas until you've visited Abilene." Looks like a fun day... at the begining of a fun several days with G & G Whelchel. I most like the photo of the happy face Paisley standing by the Eisenhower Center site map with her cute pigtails.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very fun day. I love that Backpack.
