Day 1 in Kansas City

August 27, 2011
We didn't have anything going this weekend and so we decided to take a little road trip to Kansas City, which is about 2 hours away. We found a hotel that had a indoor swimming park which we all really love. It was called CoCo Key Water Resort. Our hotel room was really cool we could look out and see the Kansas City Chiefs stadium.
With the hotel package we got, the kids got a bunch of token for the arcade games. They were so excited that they got to play all those cool games. Then it was bed time so it was time for Will to play the alligator game with the kids. They love this game because they get to jump across the beds and Will tries to catch them.

Day 2 of Kanas City

August 28, 2011


Sunday we got up and went down to the pool and played for a couple more hours. The kids loved every second of it. Boston was only able to go on this little slid but he still had so much fun. The kids loved the lazy river too. I think that Addy could spend all day in it. Will took Addy and Carter to the bigger kid part where it had bigger slides while I stayed with Boston.

After swimming we went to Union Station, and went to Science City. There was so much there for the kids to do and see. By the end of day we were all so tired. The kids slept the whole way home. We will for sure be back to Kanas City. There is so much to see and do there.

Puzzles

Boston loves to play with puzzles, and he is getting very good at them. While Addy and Carter are at school we will pull out our bag of puzzles and and play for awhile.

FREE BAKE SALE

August 20, 2011
The kids have made some great friends and one of Addy's friends lives right across the street. They have been playing lots together, and they decided one day to have a FREE BAKE SALE. A few days ago they went to all our neighbors in the cul-de-sac and told them to come to their free bake sale Saturday morning. So Friday night they baked cookies at Ella's house and decorated them and then later they came over to our house and decorated the cupcakes that I made. Saturday turned out to be a great day and they were ready for their customers by 9am. I think that the kids ate almost all of the cookies and cupcakes but they did have a lot of the neighbors come over and eat their goodies. It was fun to see the kids at work.

School 2011

August 18, 2011
This year the kids started school on the 18th which meant that their summer was cut short a little bit, since in Vermont they didn't get out til June 20th. This year they get to ride on a bus to school which they are super excited about. Addy is in 2nd grade and Carter is starting kindergarten. I am so excited for them and a little nervous about the whole bus thing, since I can't see them actually going into the school. But I know the teachers and are super good about them getting off the bus and getting them into the school. After the kids got on the bus Boston was so sad that they left him, and he was so happy to see them come off the bus.

Campus

August 14, 2011
After church the kids and I went with some of our friends up to the University of Missouri campus and walked around. We went up there with Sam, Lilly, Harlin, Sophie and Suzy, it was a beautiful campus. Lots of room for the kids to run and get ALL their wiggles out, so they are ready for bed.
