Well, let me start out by saying that our trip to KS was biggie backed on a meeting for Matt. He had 2 full day meeting in Kansas City. Cami and I decided that we would tag along. This was my last big travel adventure before baby girl #2 will be born. (only 6-8 wks left) Any hoe, we arrived wednesday afternoon, it was cold and windy. Really just awful weather.
Thursday, Matt had his meeting. Cami and I swam at the hotel and found a nearby McD's to play at. It was still really cold like 17 degrees and 40 mph wind....which related to -4 with wind chill. YUCK. Grandma and Papa met us at our hotel around 2pm. We went across the street to a big mall and played at this great place called Monkey Bizness. It was a blast! Later that night, we went to our niece's Basketball game. Cami loved it and pretty much payed attention to the ball game the entire time. She loves watching live sporting events....hmmmm wonder where on earth she learned to love sports so much!
I apologize for the poor quality of some of the photos as some were taken on my phone.

Can you tell this little girl has her Papa around her finger!
Peyton's game. They won and she scored 15pts. Pretty good for an eighth grader on varsity!After the game, Cami and I went back to Holton with Grandma and Papa. Matt stayed behind in KC to finish up his meetings on Friday. Cami spent most of Friday hanging out with her grandma and papa, then after school her cousins
Saturday morning we all piled in the cars and headed back to KC. For Christmas Matt's folks reserved us rooms at the great wolf lodge. A waterpark getaway! Everyone was soooo excited and man was it fun. We swam 3-4 hours on Saturday (although I didn't get any pictures of that). Then had pizza in our room and chilled out.

Aunt Jill and Cami, Sunday Morning
Sunday morning we opened stockings. Since we were not all able to be together at Christmas this year, grandma and papa decided to do stockings when we were all together.
Everyone in the Lazy river. This was the warmest water in the park (besides the hot tubs) so when we needed a rest this is where we went. Cami loved it cause she could almost touch so she was able to bounce up and down in the water without much assistance.
Carter on top of the obstacle course deal. He spent a lot of time up there dumping that bucket on unsuspecting victims!
Peyton and Paige climbing up the obstacle course
Cami in the sprayers. This was one of the highlights of the waterpark for her. The sprayers that come out of the ground randomly! She loved it.
Josh and Cami with Aunt Jill. They stayed in the hot tub while the crazies went to the water dumper.
Waiting for the Bucket to dump. As it got close to being full and dumping a big bell would ring. Tons of people to hurry over to get dumped on. The kids said that the water came with such force that their necks were sore!
SPLASH!
All smiles after being dumped on by the huge water bucket. Did I mention that the water is incredibly cold!
Most of the Cousins outside on the porch at Grandma and Papa's house. They all love being together so much!
Love this group of kiddos! We miss you guys sooooo much already. Cami cherished playing with her cousins!
