Happy Fall Y'all!

It finally feels like fall here in Kansas City! There is SO much to see and do and we've been trying to see it all! As usual, we've had several visitors! We always love having visitors though because it gives us an excuse to go out and enjoy everything!

A few months ago, our dear friend Stauffer came to visit us! He is getting ready to go to pilot's training for the Air Force, so we will miss him a lot, but we are really excited for him! Here are a few pictures from our visit to the go-kart track while Stauffer was in town!

Jeff and Stauffer with their fancy racing helmets on. They were pretty darn fast! :)

Jeff in his car!

Jeff's parent's came in town one weekend for a conference. We went and got some great barbeque and then headed to the driving range. Jeff has taken up golf in the last year and he has gotten pretty darn good.

Here's Tiger Woods himself getting ready to drive the ball!

Like father like son! Here's Bruce showing off his drive!

In September, my brother John came to Kansas City to visit! It was a super busy weekend, and we packed a lot into a short visit!

John and I headed to Louisburg and visited the Louisburg Cider Mill! It was a lot of fun and we picked up some Cider Donuts and Apple Cider!

John took the Amtrak back to St. Louis. We got to see a little bit of Union Station when we dropped John off!

A little brotherly love :)

Two posts in two days! Woohoo! But we have way more to show and tell about! Stay tuned for another update soon!

Until next time from Kansas,

Em and Jeff

We're Still Here...

So... we've been a little MIA these last couple of weeks, err.... months! Ahh... we are sorry! But, I guess in one way, our lack of posts means we've been doing ALL kinds of awesome stuff! So now we finally get to share it all!

At the beginning of August, we took our first official Robertson Family Vacation! Clinton State Park near Lawrence, Kansas was our destination!
We bought a 8 man tent so that we can hopefully take lots of big group camping trips in the next couple of years.

We set up all our camping stuff right next to our tent and made a bunch of meals at our campsite!

The delicious kabobs Jeff made for dinner on Saturday night! It was finally cool enough to actually make dinner! Saturday afternoon was so so so hot because of course we picked the hottest weekend in August for our trip!

A nice view of Clinton Lake.

Later in August, we traveled to Table Rock Lake near Springfield, Missouri two times, once with my family and once on our own for a camping trip.

A view of Branson Landing. Jeff and I made a trip into town from our campsite to eat Mexican for lunch. It was delicious!

Our campsite right on the lake in Kimberling City. We had absolutely perfect weather for the weekend and a few friends from St. Louis joined us for the weekend.

Setting up the whole camp. It was pretty nice!

The choppy lake. So busy for Labor Day weekend!

Jeff driving a boat! That's right... he got his boating license and drove us all over the lake! So fun!

One last picture from out near our campsite! Such a fun weekend!

Well, that's a tiny little update, but we promise, there is more to come very, very soon! Like later this week! We've still been exploring Kansas City and hanging out with all kinds of friends!

Until next time from Kansas,

Em and Hubs
