Family Summer Vacation

There wasn't a beach or a fancy amusement park, but the Edwards family enjoyed a fabulous, albeit short, vacation to the Heart of America ... literally! Here's a run down of what we did ...

• In between rain showers, we visited the City of Rocks outside of Minneapolis, KS. Here we climbed among the largest collection of sandstone concretions in the world! (... and had lunch).
• Tyson added 150' of sisal twine to the World's Largest Ball of Sisal Twine. Now it's even bigger!
• Feeling a little more balance in our lives, we stood in the exact center of the United States. Well ... okay, the center of the lower 48 states.
• Visited the Higley Cabin where the official state song of Kansas was written. The song? Home on the Range (where the deer and the antelope play).
• Stayed at the US Center Motel in Smith Center, KS ... and they had a pool to boot!
• Got to know the Kansas Highway Patrol just outside of Manhattan, KS.
• Created memories to last a lifetime ...
