We looked forward to it for so long, had a blast, then I didn't post a single photo.
Without further ado, here's a smattering of our fun three or so days in bustling Goodland, Kansas.
Family trickled in, and the ones who got there early were blessed with some one-on-one time with Grandpa Chester.

Our grown up son, with his son, and Grandpa. It'd been over 15 years since they'd seen each other.

| D2 thought Grandpa Chester's golf cart was way cool. I think it's way cool that at 90 he plays golf 3-5 x a week. |
 |
| It wouldn't be a trip to Goodland without checking out his garden. At 90 he hand hoes it, impressive! |
 |
| these are the photos that are dear to my heart. |
 |
| Checking out Grandpa's tamed ducks, who live on hole 9. |
 |
| Birthday boy - he was a good sport to wear anything we gave him. |
 |
| My uncle, his twin brother separated by 15 years. I hadn't seen him in 50 years. |
 |
| Mom was celebrating her 82nd birthday that day, so she got her own cake. |
 |
| Lots of family came in, enduring crazy heat, fussy babies, etc. to celebrate his big day. |
 |
| Not great photos but all I got! |
 |
These two cousins are separated by 27 days, and their baby girls are pretty close in age too.
|
 |
| They've known each other for 69 years, it was sweet to see them together reminiscing. |
It was such a great time, having about 75 people there to let him know how loved he is. The day ended with a county fair, complete with rides, country singing and dancing, corn dogs, and great fireworks.
Worth every mile we all made to be there.
