Thanksgiving in KS - Friday

Today the boys woke up asking Uncle LH to go see some tractors.  LH farms a lot of ground around Plains and has plenty of farm equipment to entertain the boys for hours!  I think they climbed on every piece of machinery in his shop from tractors to combines to four wheelers to bobcats!  They were in tractor heaven!



 

Brody thought it was so cool to get to ride up front between Uncle LH and Uncle Ron.  (Notice the temp says 20 degrees.  Brrrrrr!)
LH stopped to show us some of his bales of cotton.  He told Brody he could take some home with him, so he was stuffing his pockets with cotton!
Our Thanksgiving family picture :)
 
When we got back to Uncle LH's house, Brody was ready to play baseball.  (Rain, sleet, snow, or shine....Brody ALWAYS wants to play baseball!)
I turned around to find Barrett creating his own fun!  No one was paying attention to the fact that he was climbing up the porch behind them!

Around lunch time we headed back to St. John.  Have you ever seen a wind farm?  I think they're so neat!  Here's a picture out the window of the car as we drove by...
 
Back in St. John, Mike and Nancy got to work cookin' a turkey for yet another feast!  Tonight we had Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma K's house.
The boys sat waiting somewhat patiently.  (Notice Jayden doesn't look so good.  He was sick the whole Thanksgiving vacation.  Poor guy!)
After a delicious dinner at Grandma K's it was time to watch the Kansas Jayhawks basketball game.  Grandma was all decked out in her KU gear and had the tv on in both the den and the kitchen so she didn't miss any of the action!
I didn't get a picture of her with all the great-grands, but I did get one of her with Brody.  He asked me to take a pic of him and Grandma and she was happy to pose with him.  So cute!
  
It was late when we got back to Grammy's house tonight, so we put the kids in bed, did a little laundry, and then headed to bed ourselves.  Tomorrow's the loooong drive home.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and we had so many relatives to go and visit on Thanksgiving and Christmas....those were great times....and they will be wonderful memories for the boys.
