Flying into the Kansas City Airport...
We managed all the heavy luggage because of the amount of materials I had to take to cover three fairs, plus the screen, and electronic devices....obtained our rental car and then set out to go from the airport to Shawnee Mission via directions from my google maps app.....HOWEVER....it was taking us at 1/4 mile increments through country roads and then short circles through neighborhoods and when I use that app, I loose my battery power super fast...when we quickly went from 70% to 18% power.....I got a little anxious. I decided to look for the main highways and get to one of them quickly...haha! The Google Maps lady was still try to take me through the country, but I started ignoring her :P We managed to find some civilization before my phone was dead and ask for directions. Have you tried asking for any directions lately? I think people are so reliant on their phones that they can no longer give directions....they don't know road names or exit numbers or if you are supposed to go east or west or left or right....and gas stations don't sell maps anymore?....who knew....it did remind me of the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz...I talked to four people for directions and they all seemed to be pointing me in different directions to get to our hotel. We prayed and found the correct road :) I thought we would have some down time, but we checked in and had to eat and get ready for the fair....luckily the fair was only 2 minutes from the hotel.
We arrived at the school a little early to set up our table and the school bleachers were an emerald color....haha! I had to laugh that I felt like we had finally arrived at the EMERALD city :) I kinda wish I had the map showing me where we actually drove...that would be interesting to see. I am thankful for Kenna enduring that lost feeling for a little while and putting up with my anxiety while I tried to figure it all out.
