Basically, our trip can be summed up with four words:
Fun * Family * Friends * Food.
We spent a ton of time with both sets of grandparents, in various pools and sprinklers and hot spots as well added on some major lb's by eating so much. As always, it was a blast.
I'm not going to go into detail on each place we went, rather leave you with just a bunch of pictures. We visited Deanna Rose Farmstead, Kaleidoscope, Wonderscope, Powell Gardens, A Curious George Exhibit, the Arboretum and rode a Steam Engine from 1937! We ate at our faves including Jack Stack, Stroud's and Fritz's and even squeezed in seeing some friends and meeting some new babies as well. It was exhausting, yet so nice to be back for a week!
Get ready. Here comes a photo dump....
Below are two of my favorite pictures from our trip. The left is Drew and his 2nd cousin trying to sneak a peak at the cake my mom made and the right is his plumber's crack which was spotted often on our vacay. Cute, right?
Nothing makes for a better trip than the four F's!

for winning the Dog DNA kit!!
Ooooh - I bet no diapers leads to a lot more plumbers crack!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDo you work while on vacation or do you just take a whole week off and head down there?
I've been hoarding my vacation for maternity leave (today is my last day of work!) so I can't wait to take chunks of time off again!
These are so cute! I'm glad you guys had a great time!
ReplyDeleteYou guys were busy on your trip to KC!! What did you think of the Curious George exhibit? The pic of Drew with CG is so cute! We asked Chloe to give CG a hug, and she hugged some random girl that was standing close to her instead, haha!
ReplyDeleteCute pics! What picture collage app do you use??
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOO...I demand a re-do on the Dog DNA giveaway!!! (OK, or not. I guess I could just pay for it my ownself. Sheesh. ;) )
ReplyDeleteSo true!!!Glad you guys had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun all in one post! Glad you guys had such a blast!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome trip! Looks like a blast. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha...these pictures are too adorable! What a fun time :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful trip packed full of fun! Love the pictures! We are going back at the end of October and Deanna Rose, Fritz's and the Arboretum are definitely on our list :) Can't wait for some crisp, Fall weather in KS!
ReplyDeleteThis whole post just makes my heart ache for home.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture on the left is PRICELESS!!!!!
I love all the pictures. It looks like a wonderful time with family :) We have a ton of plumber's crack too. None of B's shorts fit since we went from cloth diapers to panties! I think she will be able to wear the leggings she wore last fall though so that is a win! And you mentioned selling your diapers...where are you selling them...Ebay? I've been thinking about selling mine too!
ReplyDeleteWe are taking a trip back to IL next week (10+) hours and I need Drew to teach my babes how to travel well!! I love all the pictures, adorable as always!!
ReplyDeletewhere was the steam train? next time you come here we should meet up!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that photo of the boys sneaking a peek at the cake! That's precious.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like y'all had a wonderful weekend! I love the picture of the boys sneaking a peek of the cake. I'm sure if it were closer to the edge, they would have snuck more than just a peek! ;)
ReplyDeleteI went to Jack Stack for the first time when we were in KC for my bday (upon Desiree's suggestion!)! Sooo good and I've definitely never had better service than what we had there. I was impressed. And full. Very very full.
