Amish Country

  We think we have narrowed down Mookie's allergy to a preservative.  Sadly that's probably as specific as it's going to get for now as there's so many.  It seems to be helping though.  In an attempt to cut costs, we're buying bulk baking goods.  So today we made our bi-monthy trip to Amish country in NW Missouri for some shopping at one their bulk foods places.  It's quite a drive, but we pick up Grandma and she joins in the adventure with us!  Its cheap and fun:)
  Our trip takes us through Leavenworth, KS.  One of the kids' favorite places is the riverwalk area near the "blue bridge".  I had never been before, Ducky and Gigi have been the ones to take them, so it was a treat for me! Flat Darcy got to come with us too:)
the sculptures there were awesome!
Shorty's favorite!
The Landing is right next to the train tracks and just before we left one came through!  Shorty was thrilled!!

On to Amish country.  Shorty loves the "neighs" and Mookie loves everything about it. We left Bubby with Hubby & Ducky to get started on a new deck for us.
One of the things I love about NW Missouri is getting to catch a glimpse of the tobacco plants when they're in season.  They aren't as prevalent as in years past, but it's so cool to see something other than the norm.  For our Flat Darcy project we stopped and got up close to a field.  Mookie was thrilled to bring home an actual leaf:)
We can't wait to go back!
