My mom came out for an extended visit this past week. Although it was hot and muggy for most of her visit, we managed to show her the town and enjoy Manhattan. Thursday she took a tour by herself, and roamed the west side of Manhattan for nearly 4 hours.
I put her to work on Friday making a new bed for Kahla (Yogi ripped apart her old one). Friday evening we shopped for quilting stuff and made dinner at home. Relaxing and productive.
We also entertained the Rahne family for a quick visit, Ray, Dar and Kaden joined us for our Saturday adventures. Saturday was the day of picnics; we had my work picnic at the lake during the day, where it reached a cool 103 degrees. Saturday night we kicked off the Kansas State football season with a football BBQ at the Prince’s house.
Pictures of the Kahla swimming at lake picnic will be available later. I would have liked to introduce Yogi to water that day, but things were a little too crazy for him.
Sunday, we shopped and relaxed and then met up with the first wives of KSU football for some dinner at a local favorite, Coco Bolos.
Monday we ventured to Kansas City to shop the Plaza and stayed out near the airport so she could make her flight to Seattle in the morning.
Although the trip was uneventful, I think my mom enjoyed spending time with her granddogs. The two dogs were in their glory having someone to play with all day. Although, the plan of walking Yogi was quickly defunct when he knocked my mom over twice on Wednesday. Even though they got off to a rocky start, I think the dogs and mom had a great time together. I know they missed her terribly on Tuesday when they spent the day all caged up.
