We had a very special 4th of July weekend. Sharlene's brother Bob and his wife Sharon, one of their daughters, Jennifer and her husband Sam and Mr. Cameron came to Kansas for a visit. We had a lot of just real nice family time at Brenda's, Becky's and our house over the weekend.
There was food, fun, food and family and food. We sat around for hours and listened and talked. We hit Shelley Ann's for the traditional breakfast.
Becky and Jason's son, Clint, had a birthday on the 3rd so we celebrated that special day with a cookout, cake and ice cream.
Fireworks with the Stapels is the tradition now. It was fun, loud, exciting and sometimes there was a suprise.
Bob, Sam, Cameron and I went to the Geographical Center of the United States near Lebanon, Kansas. It was an interesting ride. Got to meet the new preacher at the little chapel.
Sharlene called some of her local cousins and Monday night we go to be with a little more famliy. We ate some world famous Banana Pudding.
I enjoyed the stories told. I enjoyed the laughter. I enjoyed getting to spend some special time with family. I felt a little closer to them all when they pulled out of the drive on their way home. It was just a fun, relaxing weekend. I am glad I got to be a part of it.
