more cousins arrive!

I was so happy to pick up my niece and nephew at the airport yesterday after their first plane trip on their own ( ie. without an adult.) We went from there to  the  Exploration museum. We spent most of our time in the,  rightly named,  ”Grossology” exhibit but we also  made time to  try our hand at milking fake cows and experiencing a tornado inside a simulator.  All in all , a great first day for them in Kansas!

In other news, Rob started his two week  bus/rv tour on tuesday called ”Jobs, Vision and Values,  Road to Victory Tour.” It will be heading to a town near you soon! So far the stops have been going great!  I will post updates from the road as soon as possible. The tour already made front page of the Emporia Gazette yesterday.

Augustine turns 10!

Busy day yesterday! I took Francesca to her friend Grace’s  house for her first tea party in the  morning and took a van full of boys  out  for Augustine’s brithday in the  afternoon. I  fed all the children dinner and then Rob, Austin, Billy  and I  had supper at the Grand Central.

Camp Wood 2010

While Rob and the big boys were busy campaigning, my sister and her family went with me to Camp Wood in Elmdale this past week. The children had a great “camp experience” and learned lots of new skills, thanks to the awesome staff and counselors.

Fourth of July Parades!

Reinforcements have started to arrive from near and far! The Wasinger campaign was extremely well represented both in Hays and in Hutchinson this weekend,  thanks to visiting family, friends and of course, our always dependable campaign team and volunteers. Thanks Guys!!  We had over double the showing than any of our opponents and several times when Rob was shaking hands,  people told him that he already had their vote!

4H trip to Abilene
