We came, We conquered!

In October, Jett, Grandma Jean, and I went to Topeka Kansas to visit Allyson, Brian, & Alivia Taylor. Jett went on his first jet ride and did great! You should have seen the scared faces of all the other passengers when they saw me carrying a baby on board. Unfortunately, they were disappointed because he made hardly a peep.




Cousin Alivia was Annie for Halloween and Jett was a seahorse. (I made his costume all by myself!)






















Alivia and Jett soon became best buddies. First thing out of Alivia's mouth each morning was "where's baby Jett?" Alivia showed Jett how to play with all of her toys, taught him how to dance, and even shared her dinner ham with him. (In Kansas, choking hazards are a gesture of love and sharing.)






We made a trip up to the Omaha Zoo. We spent that night in the lap of luxury at the Hilton-courtesy of Grandpa Kevin's credit card :) The zoo had an awesome walk-through aquarium, underground bat cave, incredible gorilla habitat, and tiny tiger cubs!














































And what Kansas trip would be complete without a trip to World's of Fun?! Alivia LOVED having Grandma Jean go on the rides with her. We even talked mom into going on one of the biggest, fastest roller coasters! Allyson and I suffered a couple blackeyes on the Timberwolf, but no permanent damage.













Our visit was SO MUCH FUN!! When can we go back again?
