YELLOW BRICK ROAD #2

Another trip down the yellow brick road to Kansas...actually it was a red brick road in Ft. Scott and we were really fascinated with it. We just never allow ourselves enough time to stop at the interesting little towns on our way to where we are going! Would like to have showed the girls Ft. Scott's Historical Sites and walked in the old town area. Iola, KS, is another town with a totally fascinating downtown that we drove straight through one more time.
So, just where did we go and who went?? My cousin Ellen's daughter, Brady Whitson, got married in El Dorado, KS, on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. Ashton, Erin and I went with Christie and we made a very full day. Mapquest put driving time at 5 hrs, 7 min. and we actually made the trip in 6 hours, so made quick work of our pitstops along the way. This is my cousin Ellen, with her 3 children and a brand new son-in-law!
By getting to the church a couple of hours early, we were able to spend some extra time visiting with Uncle Walt, Aunt Nadine, Becky, Ellen and Roger. The wedding was beautiful and I wish Brady and Nick all the happiness in the world. This is a picture of our Uncle Walt,Aunt Nadine, their 4 children, inlaws, grandchildren, & great-grandchildren. They have a family to be proud of!

YELLOW BRICK ROAD

With brother-in-law Bill at the wheel we followed the Yellow Brick Road to Kansas. Total of ten hours on the road and almost as many spent with family in Wichita, Augusta and Fall River, we were back home on Pine Ridge by 1:00 a.m. Sunday! Great Trip, Precious Memories Shared and New Ones Made. Since we visited three different locations, couldn't get Just One picture of all together, so here is one with Jim, Christie and me -and- cousins, Becky, Paula and Ellen.
