Shortly after we returned from the beach, my little brother, Patrick, came to visit us. He is beginning his college search and wanted to visit one in Omaha, Nebraska - not too far from us. Patrick is always a fun guest to have and Sam adores him! During the day Patrick hung out with Sam and I doing our usual routine but the evenings we tried to take him to all the fun places in Aggieville/Manhattan. These trips usually included a stop at the world's best gourmet donut shop, Varsity Donuts, where he joined Justin in his goal to eat his way through all the flavors before we leave Fort Riley. 

Trying to sit as close as possible to Uncle Patrick!
In Aggieville, getting some coffee grounds from our favorite local shop, Radina's. 

Sam has begun imitating many things we do, such as using a coaster for his drink. Very cute! 

The only show Sam ever watched was Curious George, just last week he suddenly decided he loves trains! This opened up Thomas the Tank Engine as a whole new world of excitement for him on Netflix. His interest in the shows usually lasts 5 minutes then he is back to playing, which is just fine since we would like to keep his TV time as low as possible,

Justin has been dying to take Sam to Waffle House to get one of these snazzy hats and begin instilling love for this southern staple. In Georgia I passed 23 Waffle Houses during my 25 minute commute to work (not exaggerating), but here in Kansas we had to drive almost two hours to find one. 

Who doesn't love WH waffles? They taste better when wearing the hat.

At our last Starbucks trip before dropping Patrick off for his flight.
