After a whirlwind few days trekking from Indiana to Illinois to Missouri, Lisa and Brady (with Brian following) made it to Springfield on Thursday, April 3. After a quick tour around Bass Pro, we caravan home to Fair Grove in the rain. We made fabulous homemade pizza for dinner and Woody and Dorothy joined us.
Friday was a fun filled day traveling to Branson for a little outdoor shopping and lunch with margharitas. Then we drove the "strip" and down to Table Rock lake for a quick survey of the water. Lisa and Brady so cute, Kelly and Lisa, and then Jay and Brian playing with Brian's new fishing gear (just bought from Bass Pro).
Friday night was Brew Co night for sure. We met Laura, Jana & Anthony and their kids. It was first Friday artwalk so we also took in the sites and fought the crowds downtown. It was a great night! They got to see all our regular hangouts and even met a few of my students.
Saturday was all girls' day. Lisa and I went for pedicures and lunch together. I showed her my office and then we met the guys back at home. We grilled some steaks, made a bonfire in the back and talked all night until we all just crashed.
Sunday was Brady's 15th birthday! I made him pancakes and bacon--he was still full from dinner the night before. But he ate some breakfast for Aunt Kelly. And then they were gone by 10am. Lisa was the trooper and drove home the entire way--an 11 hour marathon, in the rain.
Had a great time and looking forward to our time together in Ohio in June.

Just posted a recap of Lisa's trip to Missouri. I fooled with the pictures a bit, but they are still a little out of whack. Oh well, enjoy.

Looks like everyone had a great time. Love the "whack-y" pix. Nice use of the entertainment counter.
