It's raining, as we load up and get ready to go to the Joyful Daughters conference in Kansas City!
A stop at the G's (in a hailstorm!) to pick up their three ladies...
Daddy bought this carrier for the trip. It was SO NICE to have!!!
Some of our group! It was such fun traveling together!
Hills in OK...
Backseat fun ;)
In Oklahoma, we picked up Lydia M! :)
She graciously allowed me to post some of the photos she took -- they'll be marked with a "(LM)". Thanks, Lydia! What a treat it was to spend the weekend with you! :)
Eating dinner... well, if chocolate can be called dinner ;) (LM)

Deborah, getting a little stir-crazy after all those hours in the van ;) (LM)
At the hotel that eve, we played Balderdash!
Lots of laughs! ;)
It's Friday morning, and the conference is beginning!!!
Lots of good speakers... This is Lolly Hale from Alaska, who it was so fun to meet!
And Megan Craig...
Pretty soon, it was time for my speech!
The stage lights were really bright! I'm the whitish ghost-thing in the mid-lower right ;)
The Neely family sang. It was precious to actually be able to meet them!
Getting ready for the Daughter's Panel (LM)

Afterwards, there was a fun pizza party for all the families! (LM)
Such a joy to get to meet and talk to so many girls and ladies from all over the country!!! (LM)
Lydia's dad and brother Nathan came up for part of Friday, which was fun! Here, Nathan and Micah hang out ;) (LM)
Part Two -- Saturday and Sunday -- coming next!
Photo #17 above -- our room had that same crazy picture hanging in it -- with the subject/print offset from the mat & frame. Drove. Us. Crazy! LOL! We kept wanting to make it centered and right.
ReplyDeleteBut this sure was a great fun time, wasn't it?
Oh, yes, that drove us crazy, too! ;) I guess it was supposed to be "artistic." ;)
DeleteSo nice to meet you all! :)
Elisha, for all of us
