MO

Libby is helping me bake. She loves to be where the action is. We have been doing lots of baking. Chocolate cake, lemon cake, chocolate cookies, and even snickerdoodles! Yummo!
There is a tiny stream that runs next to the apartment. It is filled with tadpoles and frogs!
I brought pictures of cousins and aunts and uncles, etc. to hang on the wall. We love sharing memories (mostly silly ones, the cousins are a pretty entertaining group!) while looking at the pictures.
Here is the pool that we go to almost everyday. Libby hasn't decided if she likes the water or not. She mostly likes to walk around the pool (and make me a nervous wreck!) This pool is fun though because it has a beach front entrance so Libby can sit there and sort of be in the water, but not to deep!

We have been doing a little sight seeing. We visited the Liberty Jail, where Joseph Smith was imprisoned. We went to downtown Kansas City and looked at all the really old buildings, that are amazing. We have found several really cool parks. Hayden's favorite was a park that has a 2o foot penguin and 4 merry go rounds, that he played on until he was sick! Ethan has even joined the eleven year scout group for the summer, and got to go on their camp out with his new friends. We went to St. Joseph and visited a museum about the history of the town, including the pony express and the civil war.

There are still lots left on my to do list. I want to visit the library in downtown, mostly because it is in the coolest building. I want to visit the local farmers market, and maybe find some fun flea markets. So much to do! But it is so hot here (I was hoping to escape the heat, but no such luck!)

I hope you are enjoying your summer, too!!
