Winter fun in Clinton, Missouri

So we are off to spend New Year's in Missouri. Well this year we had to change our route. Some of you may remember that my sister's family moved to Clinton, Missouri. This is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from KC. So we waved as we passed familiar places and headed on down to the Heck family home. But we did have to laugh as we noticed that they had more snow than we did in Wisconsin. The kids had a blast playing in the snow and having a sleep over. Then we were even more excited to play in the new fallen 4 inches of snow in the morning. The snow just hung on the trees and it was perfect snowman building weather. Jake so wanted Uncle Rick to get out the snowblower but he didn't--we all helped shovel and played along the way.



Jake couldn't resist just giving Ethan a little push--and over he went. We all had fun playing the old fashion way.


After a fun 24 hours at my sister's home, we were saying good-bye and heading back up to Kansas City. It wasn't so hard to say good-bye because they would be coming to the big city to bring in the New Year with us.
