Our planning for this trip included Derek driving to Wichita with us, then taking the train back home on Monday. So Derek and his Mom got up in the middle of the night to head to the train station, continuously checking the app to make sure it was actually on time. But while waiting in the station, it suddenly said, "Service Unavailable" and shortly after Derek got a call saying his train was cancelled and there wouldn't be another one running until Wednesday! They drove back and after some discussion, decided he would take his Dad's car and drive back to Peoria. His parents were planning to come at the end of the month, they would get it back then. We said our goodbyes again and when Derek got in and turned the radio on he heard on the news that the AmTrak train derailed in Western Kansas before it picked him up. Whew. Craziness.
All that drama settled down and we woke up and played at G'ma Debbie's house in the morning. Owen preferred playing in the toy bin.
And also enjoyed some time with Uncle Drew.
Later we headed over to my parents house where Izzie and Owen got a little more cousin time.
He likes her.
Though it was nap time by the time Cooper got his turn...
We let her nap while we headed to the park for a playdate with friends. Owen doesn't mind that he was in a pink zebra stripe stroller. It's the kind of thing that happens when all the cousins your age are girls.
We ate a picnic lunch and played.
With a *few* friends. :)
Owen found out he likes to swing.
It was a beautiful day for it!
