We had a great time in Kansas for those extra days that Brian got added on to his R&R. He got to meet with the team that will be replacing him in November but he didn't have to spend a lot of time at work so we got plenty of time to enjoy our last few days together. We went to the cute little zoo in Manhattan where unfortunately most of the animals were sleeping...but Ian did get to pet some goats and a pot belly pig so that was great! And amazingly Ian wore a hat for a good bit of the time we were there. When Brian went to put it on him I said, "He hates hats. He won't wear it." Hmm, I guess Daddy has the magic touch.
We did some other fun little stuff like go to the playground and the little lake on post and swim in the hotel pool. But the best part of our trip was getting to see our friends, the Cooks!! We hadn't seen them since we were out at Ft. Riley last year and Alexis wasn't born yet. We went over to their house for a great dinner one night and Ian had the absolute best time playing with all of Ben's cars...especially one that drove right up their front door! He got so excited he was shaking and jumping all over the place saying, "Car door! Door car!!" over and over. Ian's got a lot of cars but not nearly as many as Ben so he was in heaven!

The kids and I also went over to the Cooks one morning while Brian was doing some work. Ben was still sleeping so Ian couldn't get into his room to play with the multitude of cars but Sarah scraped up a couple from Sophie's room so that worked. Sophie also introduced Ian to a fun place to hang out in the living room...the ottomans! Somehow they both managed to fit in there and it made for some pretty cute pictures.

So, we had a wonderful time and we are so excited that it will only be a couple more months til we drive back out to Kansas again!! We'll get to see our friends and pick Brian up to bring back home for good!!
