Lakin, Kansas
Lakin is about 2 ish hours from Great Bend...given the speed of course :)
It is probably one of the most boring drives ever. If you have ever been to Dodge City this is basically the same drive you just go north once you hit there.
So Daylynn and I hit the road early Saturday morning to head to Grandma Jo's house to see the family. She slept the majority of the way but the stinkin sun was in her eyes so couldn't sleep the entire time but was a trooper and a great little traveler. We had an awesome day seeing everyone and playing games. She was showing them how smart she is too :) My grandmas house is an old farmhouse with a layout where you can walk in a circle going through all the rooms. They kinda all connect. Daylynn loved this and kept going in circles.
Daylynn sleeps in a pack n' play for her naps at daycare but I've never put her in one otherwise. She slept pretty well for not being in her bed. Such a picky little thing! She must get that from her mom...no denying that! Then Sunday morning we got up early again and headed back home to make it in time for Church service. She slept the entire trip back, which I hoped since she was up at 6:30 for goodness sakes!
Now that school is back in session and our little family is here in Great Bend, we only get back to Manhattan about once a month maybe 2 times. This seems like more then nothing, but before I used to go back every weekend and see my family and Patrick so it is still a little struggle when I have to wait this long to see my family. Its more of a struggle on them since Daylynn is growing so quick and changing every day.
*On a side note, our Librarian had her little baby girl this afternoon, and it got me a little emotional thinking about almost a year ago I was in her shoes sending a message to my co-teacher and co-workers about our little bundle of joy. AHH my baby is almost a 1 year old!!!
