Kansas City

PART 2 of the Summer Summary...

In August we took a trip to Kansas City, Missouri for Mike to interview for Medical School at UMKC (University of Missouri, Kansas City)

We could have just sent Mike to interview, but if he got in and we would be living there someday I had to go check it out. We looked a plane tickets for the both of us but it was just way to expensive, so we drove. After a 16 hour drive, Mike wishes we flew!!!

We got to see the country a bit though! Here is a picture of the Missouri River, it is huge this year and actually flood on to one of the highways we took. Below is a picture of the mess is made in the road, water, and mucky mess!!

Here it is: UMKC School of Medicine

Mike before the Interview (looking as sharp as ever, but you can tell he's NERVOUS that's just not the same smile as the pictures of Lake POWELL:)

Kansas City: when we first got to Missouri, I didn't even know if they had a city with a skyline, but as we drove to see where the school was we caught a glimpse of the city. It sure is beautiful!!!

A couple more pictures of the River (I made Mike stop by is so we could get some pictures outside of the car. It's pretty but it also kinda stunk!)

Sunday after we went to Church we needed something to do so we drove around and visited Independence Missouri Church Visitor Center, Liberty Jail, and the site of where the New TEMPLE will be built.

They have a sign up but it's hard to read in this picture. I promise this is where it will be though, I'm wondering once they get it built from how far away you will be able to see it? The church definitely found a high point for it!

Kansas City Royal Stadium
Practice before the game started

Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees (Yankees kill'd it A Rod had 3 home runs back to back to BACK!!! Crazy)

Fountains at the Stadium (It was just an awesome amazing experience)

We had a good time in Kansas City and hope to be back in January for School (if Mike gets in, we haven't heard anything yet but will definitely post if when we hear!)

I know! I KNOW!!!!

It's about time to catch up on the BLOG... Here is a summary of our Summer, besides work and Summer School.

In July we got to go to LAKE POWELL with our whole family. Here are some pics from the trip.

I love summer because of the awesome awesome sky

I don't know if you can tell in this pic but there was this random rainbow in the sky when we were driving it was so amazing there were no rain clouds around. My mom and I both thought it was amazing and though we were in different cars we had the same idea in mind and had to take a picture of it.

Here is a sunset on the Lake, though we should have been at the boat ramp at this time it was amazing enjoying the sunset and smooth "warm" water

The Family -Who's ready for a good time???

Preston is ready

Jakey is ready

Mimi's ready

JaNae is most definitely ready for some R&R

More Pictures on the Boat

The Best UNCLE MIKE

My TURN

Luckily I did alright!

Enjoying the "WARM" water

The best Dad would find as a cliff for the boys (He wanted to make sure his daughters are taken care of forever and can't risk his son-in-laws lives-Cliff diving)

RAINBOW BRIDGE

It is tradition that whenever we take someone to Lake Powell for the first time we have to take them to see one of the 7 wonders of the World Rainbow Bridge
First Timers: Daniel, Mimi, Jakey, Preston, and Oscar

What a POSE??? (She's definitely the little princess- can you tell?)

Are you SURE it's over??? I think I could stay here forever
