Kansas City Trip!!


Last week my sister and I took a trip to Kansas City and we took this trip by bus! It was my first bus trip and my sister's second bus trip.

It was a great experience to have because you're put into close proximity with people from all walks of life!
The reason why were going to Kansas City was to have like a mini vacation to visit some relatives and also because my sister wanted to visit her friend who lives in a smaller town that is really close to Kansas City.

We stayed with our cousin. People are surprised when we tell them that she's our cousin because she in her 70s but she's totally up to date on things and is so much fun to hang around :)

We did all sorts of activities like bowling (which I received some great bowling tips from another one of my cousins-who is one of my cousin's brothers), shopping, going to church, and visiting relatives.

Kansas City has a vast amount of shopping centers compared to where I'm from so my sister and I were trying to get in as much shopping as we could while we were out here. But I actually didn't spend too much money, which really surprised me!
BAM!- I think it stands for books-a-million - was a pretty cool book store that they have at the legends shopping mall! It was nice to be able to visit a bookstore that wasn't Barnes and Noble (even though I love Barnes and Noble!) for once in a while!

On Sunday after we went to church we went to visit my Auntie who is the mother of the cousin who we were staying with (she's in her 90s!). Every Sunday all of her kids come to her house to have dinner and watch movies.
The cousin that we stayed with is the top middle one with the white top! She's so funny! In fact all of them are really funny!!

She has a total of 8 children, all from the same father too! Seven of them were able to make it because the eldest of her kids doesn't live as close as the rest of them.

Being around my family and seeing all the family portraits my my Aunt's house really made me want to have a big family of my own :) I usually would say to myself the the maximum amount of kids I would allow myself to have is 4, but seeing all of them together gave me a really strong longing for a big family! I guess we'll see what actually happens though! haha!

I'm so happy that I went on this trip because at first I was iffy on if I actually wanted to go or not because I wanted to keep on saving money by working more. But it was such a great experience and I can't wait to go back!

Thank you for stopping by! :D

Enjoying the Outdoors



On Sunday my mother, my sister and I went to visit my Grandmother who lives in a little town not too far from us. My sister and I had worked earlier that day and we were pretty tired from work but our mom said "I waited all this time for you guys to come back from work so we could go visit "Little Mama" (that's what we call our grandmama :D) I'm glad we did go!! Not that we don't visit her often, we actually visit her a lot. But this time we went on a walk around a little pond in her neighborhood. I've been around it before but this was the first time I actually walked it! It has a distance of 6/10 miles so a good size i would say! 





It turned out to be a very beautiful evening filled with conversation and laughter. While my mom and Little mama were chit chatting, my sister Andrea and I were catching up and reminiscing on things of the past and cracking up a goofy things that we've done in the past. Instead of staying inside and reading my book, like I tend to do pretty often, we stayed outside basically the whole visit and it felt really good to feel the summer breeze and be away from technology for a little while even though I did take a couple of pictures here and there lol! 

Have you been spending much time outdoors this summer? Let me know! Thanks for stopping by!
