Chanute Trip

Briggs was invited last week by Papa and Doe Doe to spend a few days in Chanute. I only had to ask him once if he wanted to go before he had his bags packed. Note to self do not tell a child that they are going to do something fun days in advance! Briggs loved having some "alone time" with Papa and Doe Doe and at no time was lacking for entertainment. Briggs had a list of stories from his adventures to tell us when he got home. I am not truly sure if Briggs or my parents had more fun. Thank you Papa and Doe Doe for making Briggs feel so special and always loving him like crazy.

Some of the fun that was had:


Visit to the airport. Saw a helicopter take off, a crop duster land, and was able to sit in a few airplanes.

Getting our haircut with Bridget, the only person who he will let cut his hair. Could it be the 3 suckers he gets or that she has a farm full of animals?

Visit to the train. Also took a walk along the train tracks and collected treasured.

Papa tilled a spot in the garden for him to play. What boy does not love mud.
