One more stop at the farm

On our way to beautiful Colorado, we stopped and spent a couple days with my family in western Kansas!  I feel like I'm re-living some of my favorite childhood memories every time we take the kids there.

Side Vacation 2015

It seems to be a trend that it takes me a year to get around to posting our vacation photos.  That said, here are the photos from our Summer 2015 vacation to Side, Turkey.  I'm not even going to back-post the date this time.  *sigh*

We stayed at the same resort as the prior two summers, and it was just as fun as ever.  Look at all the smiles!

Beach time!

Watching Turkish and German cartoons while Dad and Mom got cleaned up for dinner.  (They're holding keychains one of the hotel staff members gave them as gifts.)

And lastly, here is Eva konked out on the flight back home to Vienna.  (Thankfully, the Turkish flight attendants didn't take issue with her sleeping on the floor!)

We have really missed you this year, Side!  We sure hope we can find a way to go next summer!
