Kansas City

On Friday, October 19th we packed up the kids and headed for Kansas City! Although Conner had found out that we were going ahead of time (due to eavesdropping on my phone conversations) the other kids had no idea. We acted like we were getting them ready for school, but drove to Science City at Union Station instead. The kids had a blast!!!! After spending the afternoon playing, exploring, and learning we headed to our ultimate destination.....T-Rex Cafe. This restaurant is from the same people that own Rainforest Cafe which is one of our favorite restaurants. It did not disappoint. Animatronic dinosaurs, occasional meteor showers, and a Build-A-Dino store (by Build-A-Bear) were all there to enjoy. Max chose a pteranadon (sp?) and named him Fly-E. Celia found a little pink dinosaur that was perfect for her. After dinner we browsed around the mall where the kids got to enjoy the great water fountain. Max said it felt like DisneyWorld. At the very end of the night, Grandma Merry surprised the kids by pulling out a Christmas tree and giving them their presents early so we could all be together to enjoy watching them. It was an unbelieveably good day. On the drive home I felt so blessed to have this amazing group of people to call my family, and to have the ability to take a day off and just enjoy spending it together.
