This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

The most beautiful time of the year-almost

“It’s the most beautiful time of the year”  Just think Andy Williams and you might remember it.  Anyway, for me this week is almost the most beautiful time of the year.  The Kansas State Fair is in town.  My fair time and vacation started off slow.  I had to leave on the 1st Friday for a work conference in Dallas.  It was an okay trip but not during fair time.  The powers that be decided that we, a party of 3, should drive.  Well, I was the designated city driver if that says anything.  All things considered, it went well and do you know if you by mistake take the Emergency Vehicle lane it is a lot quieter?  At first you wonder, why all the cars are traveling parallel to you but then they have these signs that say for Emergency Vehicles only.  Here’s my one and only picture from the Dallas trip.

In comparison, I already have these nice pictures from the first trip to the fair.  More will come in Grandma’s blog next week.


Lego Tree for the Themed Christmas Tree Contest-It got a blue ribbon.


Hubby tried a fitness thingy ma jig at the fair that appeared to shake him from head to toe and said it was helpful.  The poor guy has been having some back pain.  Please note it isn’t caused by me-that would be a pain in the neck.  Ha Ha.  I’m a little giddy while on vacation.

Wedding plans are back to the top of the list.  Last weekend Kate and Tyson had engagement pictures in the pasture.  The black eyed susans were in bloom and they should have some pretty cool pictures.  We had the wedding shower on Saturday.  It went well.  
We each made a Christmas ornament for Kate and Tyson instead of playing a game.

Gus had a smashing time at the shower.

Other things on the list include talking to the caterer and seeing about renting an arch! It will be here soon and we are looking forward to seeing lots of family.


The Rise and Shine puppeteers make their return on Friday.  We are looking forward to it.

Love Auntie and Tim

    Great update Auntie. Enjoyed the time at the fair. It is much better to go early when fewer people are there.
    Love, Pamey

    The fair looks EMPTY! Maybe everyone thought it better to go when Auntie was finished:) Kidding of course!
