Linda and Heather have been best friends since high school. Unfortunately, she moved to the east coast several years ago and we don’t get to see her and her children near enough. However, lucky for us, she decided to load the car with her 3 kids and road-trip back to Kansas a couple weeks ago.
There were quite a few visits back and forth between Kansas City and Lawrence. Of the many visits, I was only able to attend one (thanks to the many days I got to work in the ER this month). We met up at the Deanna Rose Farmstead before the heat could claim any victims.
We walked around and saw the many animals available to view and feed. We fed just about every baby goat available, using up a third of the quarters in Johnson County. There is an American-Indian settlement replica built with educational artifacts; tee-pees are erected also.
There is a replica of an old-town bank on the site, providing us with a bit of respite from the heat with some air-conditioning. What a relief that was!
My absolute favorite picture of the day is all of the kids at the water pump. This was where Anna and Emily would love to play when they were younger.
You may remember this old post that was a Blast From the Past.
