On my birthday, we flew an early morning flight to Wichita to visit my parents. Grandma Joni picked us up from the airport, and drove us home to McPherson We had a fun day swimming at their neighborhood pool, playing with their puppies, and eating Pizza Hut and Dairy Queen ice cream cake for dinner!
On Saturday we went to the Kansas Cosmosphere in the morning, ate lunch at Olive Garden, and then swam at the McPherson Water Park (no good pictures except the freckled nose and loose tooth) before having a cookout for dinner and then exploring some new construction in her neighborhood.
On Sunday before we left, William and Grandpa Roger enjoyed fishing at the local park - the same place where he had his first fishing experience two years prior - which really seemed to start his love of fishing!
The loose tooth that had been bothering William all weekend fell out on our drive to the airport, which was very exciting! Our flight home was delayed several hours due to storms in Chicago, so O'Hare wasn't letting Wichita take off without a landing position. Unfortunately the Wichita airport has only three places to eat - Dunkin Donuts, Chik-fil-a (closed on Sundays), and a bar and grill that couldn't figure out how to make a cheese quesadilla. With those choices, we ended up eating donuts. Luckily William a seasoned traveler and was great about entertaining himself with his Legos as we waited. We finally took off but the pilot warned us as we approached that we may not be able to land before having to divert to refuel. Thankfully we did land at ORD, though we had to wait an hour for a gate. I took a photo of this crazy cloud while we were in the air.
