Kansas Cowboy

Little Cowboy

Great Grandma and Uncle at the western store, check out those boots!

Got back late last night from a weekend in Kansas to visit great grandma Ada. Henry is a natural travler and did great! I think the trip to Europe 5 months pregnant helped :) Was a great trip and she was so thrilled to meet Henry. We were able to spend a day with her brother Lucky (got that name because he had 5 sisters) and have a meal with the family friends who bought her childhood farm.

We were in middle of nowhere Kansas (1 and a half hours out side of Wichita) and let me tell you there is nothing there, but farmland with windmills and oil wells. You simply could not be a vegetarian in the heart land thats for sure and you better like white bread and Foldgers coffee. I kept trying to get a salad all weekend but every time would get a bowl of the bagged iceberg lettuce, the kind with dried up carrot strips and cabbage, covered in ranch dressing, gross! I even saw a pickup on the side of the road full of road kill....it was an experience! The crazy thing is that this is America, there are more of us living in the middle of the country then on the coast and their is so much cultural differentness right here in our own country. I hope Henry can go play cowboy again when he gets older....he already has a head start, as no trip to Kansas would be complete without a trip to the western store and grandma and lucky got him outfitted.

Proud great grandma
