• On the Farm: Wheat Harvest, Animals, Irrigation, and More!

    P1230635c

    The girls were very excited to “help” Grandpa cut the last little bit of wheat harvest!

    Every day at Kansas is an adventure for the kids when they are visiting my parents on the farm.  They love exploring the different equipment, fields, and getting the opportunities to spend time with their grandparents while doing exciting farm activities.  It is always neat seeing them get excited about the things that I grew up with in Kansas.

  • Family Game Night: U-Build Monopoly

    Family Game Night

    Our family loves playing games.  We try to play a game together on a regular basis.  Recently for family game night we played a new game we received, U-Build Monopoly!  The game is played with hexagonal property spaces that snap together.  The length of the game track will determine how short or long the game will be.  This game follows similar Monopoly guidelines with some fun twists.  It is easy enough for kids to play, but still fun for the adults.
