Last Days in Missouri

We had a few days to recover from our DC trip before heading home. Their friendly neighbor Gene let us come swim in her pool one day, and Papa Dude took the boys on an adventure at the Missouri River. We were sad to leave Oma and Papa Dude's house, but we were excited to get home and see Daddy. Hopefully it won't be so long before we see everyone again.

Cool Radley

Always a cannonball from Kyler.

Radley was very proud of himself for 'swimming' even though he wouldn't get off the step the entire time!

Two cool hat dudes!  Radley was trying on all of Papa Dude's hats.

A common face on Kyler these days.  The repeated phrase at Oma and Papa Dude's was, "Pouting gets you nothing."

How cute is this??

They found a rescue crew doing training drills and were excited to watch them.  The guys were really nice to the boys and let them try on helmets, waved to them, etc.

They were so good for Papa Dude he let them get ice cream!

They found almost everything on their scavenger hunt too!

All worn out from such a long day.
