Kansas Thanksgiving: Day 1 - Drive Time

Better late than never...
 
On Tuesday, Nov. 22, we set out for Ogen, Kansas, to have Thanksgiving with Jeb and Emi.  We left at 5 am on my sweet boy's 6th birthday.  He was a great rider, keeping himself entertained with his Leapster, new TAG, coloring books, and of course, his trusty DVD player*.

Me: Elliott, we are going to stop at a cheese store.
Elliott: Do they sell cheesecake?
Me and Mom: hahahahahaha

The only difficult part of the trip was driving through Kansas City.  This heavy traffic coincided with it getting dark and the DVD player dying, the combination of which led to an Elliott meltdown.  Thank goodness for the books on tape, wisely suggested by Aunt Kathy.

We finally arrived 14 hours later!

Uncle Jeb and Aunt Emi had a birthday surprise (and spaghetti) waiting on us!
