Paisley got a backpack that will become her 72 hour kit/flight kit. It has wheels so she will be able to pull her things in case we have to leave after an emergency. It ended up seeming very appropriate that we bought it yesterday since we had a tornado watch for 9 hours yesterday evening until early this morning. All who have been to Kansas know how well I handle those kinds of situations (not very well, for those of you that don't know).
Then with the help of Mom's GPS we headed to a local park for a picnic. It was a very nice park with a couple cute bridges and nice picnic tables. We had a very fun time at lunch.
We then continued northeast toward Abilene Kansas. There we first stopped at the Russell Stover Chocolate factory and outlet store. It was an incredible site. There were thousands of boxes of chocolates for crazy prices like 4 for $9.99. Probably needless to say we bought a few.
We ended our day in Abilene at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. We checked the movie of Dwight D. Eisenhower's life and presidency. Then we toured his childhood home. It was all very interesting. We sure like Ike!We had a great first day with Mom and Dad. Today as soon as Jason gets home from work we will jump in the car and head off for a fun Memorial Day weekend in Omaha Nebraska. Stay tuned for some fun highlights of that trip!

It was a very fun trip and the Russell Stover candy factory was even more amazing than Stefanie described. Sadly, I won't be eating any of it, and due to hot temperatures we may not be able to bring it home. Poor dad, I guess he and the Cornwall's will have to eat it all.
Hey, I have dear running friends who live in Mondamon Iowa, just across the way from Omaha. You will probably drive thru that area on your way to Omaha. Heck let me go look at a map.Wrong....they live due east of Omaha, you are coming up from the south.
So fun! Glad you are enjoying Mom and Dad! Paisley, I love your back pack. Mialee is excited to get one for Kindergarten!
