A large portion of the Ballard family gathered in Kansas City last weekend for some family fun. The crowning experience was the unique opportunity of attending an open house for the new Kansas City temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We were also able to take the kiddos to Liberty Jail. The entire afternoon was a sweet and tender experience, with the only thing "missing" being two Ballard daughters and their cute families.
Our weekend activities also included an easter egg hunt, Mom and Steven's birthday party, a fire pit complete with marshmallows, games, and lots of wonderful food and conversation. It was an amazing weekend and a gentle reminder of how very lucky we are to have the love that exists within the bonds of family.
