Day 7 – Our last day in Missouri
The Drive: We laid low today because it was pretty hot but we did manage to cook up 2 fresh chickens that we bought yesterday @ Skyview Farms. The birds were fresh and we cooked them “beer can” style. Actually, my brother did all of the hard work…. The rest of us were great at taste testing. I gave them baths, did some laundry and packed. After dinner I drove the kids from Lee’s Summit, MO to Hays, KS so we could get a head start on our drive to Colorado.
Total Miles: 300
TeamRachel aka mrskatvon is both a website to gain public awareness of Juvenile Batten Disease (which affects my oldest daughter) as well as a journal to remember the events in our lives.
Rachel was diagnosed with Batten Disease in July 2009 and while we knew something was "not right" we had no idea that such a nightmarish disease existed. There are dozens of nasty, orphan disease which affect people both very young and old.
Aside from dealing with the changes of Batten Disease in my daughter, Rachel, I have tasked myself with making life memorable for all of my children to make sure that (at least) 3 of them grow up to be as well adjusted and happy as possible.
It is amazing to see the kids (other peoples) and how grown up they are.
