I don't have any pictures from Day 4, but I'll give you a brief recap of the highlights. We started in Kansas and drove to visit my friend Sandi. It was great to meet her husband and son and her little dogs (who were very excited to have visitors). We enjoyed a wonderful Kansas City BBQ dinner with Sandi and were able to get all caught up. It really was great (thanks Sandi) and we'll have to do it again soon.
From Kansas City, we drove in to Missouri to camp. We found a lovely State Park that had a very nice campground (the nicest one we've stayed at so far). It was getting dark and the clouds were gathering overhead so we quickly set up our tent. A few minutes after climbing in the tent, it started raining. Not just raining, but POURING!! The wind and rain pounded our tent all night. And the lighting was spectacular - the whole sky would light up completely every few seconds and the thunder was incredibly loud. We didn't get much sleep, but we stayed relatively dry...only the corners of the sleeping bags got wet. By morning, the sun was out and the sky was blue. We were thankful that it only rained at night, and not while we were setting up or taking down the tent! We were more than ready to leave Missouri after that.

Ahhh! I'm so happy you posted! :] Hopefully if there's no blog photos it will be in Bill's photobucket type thing so I can stalk it! Hehe! <3 You are missed in Rome, hope I can see you before basic! xx
Finally I can move on from that 7:30am alarm clock. Thanks for the new blog post! I needed it :-) Glad you got to see Rachel & Sandy. Just wish you had remembered to take a picture. Next time, right?
Even the rain in Missouri is better then Kansas!! I agree with mom, good to get past the alarm clock!! Miss you!!
