All America Trip

We were lucky enough to travel as delegates for the All America City competition last week. We traveled to Kansas City, Missouri for the competition. Out of 250+ applicants, the City was chosen as one of 10 winners! It was such an amazing and fun trip for all of us. It was a lot of hard work but so rewarding and neat!

We lost our camera charger so we didn't have a camera (bummer!) so these pics are from Chet's phone. There were plenty of pictures taken from other delegates so I will wait and borrow some of theirs.

Out of everything we did, the girls truly preferred their time "working". They loved handing out City items to the other city groups, collecting stuff from other cities and cheering for our city!

All wiped out- poor thing got very little sleep all week.

We did work a lot as City representatives but also had some time to enjoy the sights of KS. There is so much to do in Kansas City- a lot of it was within walking distance of our hotel.


*Union Station (a beautiful train station from the early 1900's)


The World War I museum in downtown. Who knew there was a museum of this magnitude in Kansas City??

Jesse James' home
This was a neat experience. The house looks exactly like it did when Jesse lived there- very old and run down- the girls thought it was creepy.
