Greenleaf State Park for my son’s sixteenth birthday!

When we got on the road I was thinking how that went pretty well. Then…

Not what you want to see happen while driving down the road.

Thankfully I married a fixer. He did a temporary patch to get us down the road.
We had the best spot!

I am so glad we didn’t miss this!

His last day as a fifteen year old was pretty great 😉
The kids said they liked the Chandler park splashpad better than theirs. And it is a lot cheaper!

The girls liked the crafts table at the Discovery center.

This kid was a great sport even though I dropped the ball on the whole reason for staying in the area. We were planning on going to the Amish Bakery for his b’day but of course they are closed on Sunday. If only someone had checked the hours beforehand…

He still ended up having a great birthday though and I wouldn’t mind staying at Greenleaf again! We did not even get any hiking in 😉

Kansas City Zoo and a castle

If I did it again I would have gone into the Dutch Bakery and Bulk food store! Nick went in with one kid while I sat in the vehicle with the rest but I found out later it is a great place to stock up! The weather was pretty perfect except for a thunderstorm on our last night and we got to see Koalas so I feel like the trip was a success. Even though one of my children might have stopped sleeping and flip flopped all night instead which rocks the camper all night… I love the camper but also having a house that stays still is nice.
