Day 96 of Our RV Journey to Canada & Alaska 8/16/14 - Surprise Grandkids at Kelsey's in Warrensburg MO

At 8:00 am, we left the campground near Lee's Summit and headed to our youngest daughter's house in Warrensburg, which is about 45 minutes away.  When we arrived in Warrensburg, we stopped by a donut shop and purchased some donuts to take with us.  We were on a  mission to surprise the grandkids who stayed overnight at Kelsey's.

We pulled up in Kelsey's driveway a little after 9:00.  We went to the front door and opened it.  Kelsey & Terryn was sitting on a bar stool in the kitchen, and Kolton was laying in a chair snuggled up in a throw. When Terryn glanced up and saw us, she ran and jumped on me almost knocking me down and gave me the longest bear hug.  She was not expecting us.  She, then jumped down off got me and gave Bob a huge hug. Kolton was grinning ear to ear in the chair, so I went over there to him and gave him a big ole hug and a kiss.
Mission Accomplished!!! We surprised them.  Kristyn was asleep down the hallway and heard our voices...she, too, was surprised to see us.

Kelsey lives here

Our youngest daughter, Kelsey

Our intention was to go there and surprise all of them, Kelsey included, but yesterday evening Bob was chatting with Kelsey, and Kelsey suggested we might want to come surprise the kids at her house, so Bob told her of our plans to go there in the morning.

It was so nice to see them.  Kristyn, Terry and the kids had gotten to Kelsey's last night to spend the night and had plans to go to the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia which is about a half hour from Kelsey's.  The kids had won armbands to ride the rides.

We visited and after Kristyn, Terry and the kids left for the fair, we went to the grocery store to get food so we could have a barbecue for dinner when they got back from the fair.

Bob and I visited with Kelsey and Brett during the afternoon while we made preparations for the barbecue.

Around 5:40, Kristyn called and told us they were on their way.  Brett did the barbecueing and did a great job.  We were all hungry so things got fairly quiet while we were eating.

It was so good to see everyone, but wished our other daughter, Kara, and her husband would have been there.  Hope we can all get together next weekend at Indian Creek Campground, where Bob & I will be staying for the next few weeks.

We visited for a while longer and then said our goodbyes about 7:30.  Terryn & Kolton wanted to spend the night with us so we let them.  They were anxious to see our new RV as well.

When we got back to Jacomo Campground, we watched a little TV  and then soon crashed...we were all tired.

In all the excitement, we didn't even think about taking any pictures.

Have a great weekend!
