April's Thrills Bring May's Bills!

Wow! April has been a BUSY, BUSY month. We started the month by going to San Diego (Carlsbad, actually), where we enjoyed Legoland, the Wild Animal Park, Sea World, the beach, seafood, and family! We came back for a week, and then drove across NE and into Kansas City, MO, where I attended an SBC Chaplain's Development Conference on Islam at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, while the girls (all three of them) enjoyed (grand)parents and Jen's sister and niece. We got to see old friends as well, which was really neat. Then there was the interminable drive back across KS. I had forgotten the "joys" of smelling a cattleyard at night when I hadn't had time to prepare beforehand with a visual sighting! What olfactory bliss.

We did get to see the Old Ft. Bent Trading Post in Colorado on the way back (the next day, that is). That was really neat!

Anyway, we finally made it home to warm weather and green prairie (kind of nice, I must admit). I've been told that Wyoming summers more than make up for Wyoming winters. I hope so! Today was a great day, as was yesterday, and this whole week promises to be quite nice. We are all really looking forward to that.

I have a PDF of some GREAT pics from our trips, but I'm unable to get it to load!!! If you would like to see it, let me know, and I'll e-mail it to you!!!

Sounds like a fun road trip! Never having been further west than Keokuk, Iowa, it's all uncharted territory for me. I'm getting the itch to get on the road myself!

I'm sorry I (and the rest of the Zoo) missed your visit to San Diego. At least the ladies will get to visit with you there in WY. I'll have to track you down later. Sounds like a fun trip. You hit many of my favorite spots in San Diego. Legoland is, of course, near the top of the list. Are you still going to be visiting Maryland next week? I heard rumors of an Axis & Allies "Clash of the Titans" in the making. Again, wish I could be there.

Sounds like a good trip. I know of the same olfactory bliss from my time in Lemoore, CA. How did you enjoy Legoland? That was probably our favorite spot (for sure, it was Alec's favorite). Glad you enjoyed San Diego. There are lots of things to do there.

You can e-mail that PDF if you would. I would like to see the pictures.

I plan on seeing you in a couple of weeks.
