We left Broomfield today around noon and headed towards Kansas. Not long into our trip, we stopped in the little town of Burlington, CO. It was quaint and just lovely. They had a town museum that walked visitors through the decades of the town’s formation, and we saw some old pieces from the pioneer days into the present. This place was a hidden gem. 

At the start of the summer, I introduced Maggie to Little House on the Prarie, and she is now at the end of season 3. She was so excited to see this little museum. She loved the black wagon that looks like Dr. Baker’s on Little House. We are headed to a much larger Pioneer Village in Nebraska tomorrow. She is ready to see the 1 room school house and mercantile. Next year, she wants to road trip it Laura Ingall’s home in Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Thank the Lord for a full year until another trip! 

Kansas has been long, plain-filled roads of corn, wheat, and dairy cows. It is a drastic change from the mountains of Colorado, and each day we travel, I am consistently amazed at this country we call home. God is just so good. 

We have been gone for a week and 4 days, and it has been a trip full of blessings and thanksgiving. I am thankful, thankful that I get to do life with these people.  We are ready to finish this journey and make our way to our own beds. 

Until tomorrow…
