We went on a mini family vacation to Kansas City the second weekend in August. We headed out early Friday morning with a big agenda: Sea Life Aquarium, Crown Center, Lego Land, the water park, T-Rex Cafe, and little shopping at the Plaza.
the first stop.....lunch at the Crayola Cafe
my boys.... love this pic!!
We each had a coloring page and our own colors, so Owen had lots of coloring to do! Here's one of his masterpieces...
After lunch, we headed to the Sea Life Aquarium
Owen finally got up the nerve to touch the starfish, but only while daddy was holding him....
....but the sea urchin was a little too scary, so daddy opted to touch it instead
Owen was searching for Nemo the entire time and we finally found him in one of the last aquariums!
Ava Kate really enjoyed the aquarium (way more than we thought she would), but the sting ray were her favorite!
After the aquarium, we headed to the indoor water park at our hotel...
sleeping with his new turtle from the aquarium...
We started the next morning off with breakfast at Einstein Bagels and then headed to Lego Land. We didn't know much about Lego Land, but Owen was all about building towers/zoos ALL the time so we knew he would love it!
You enter Lego Land on the Kingdom Quest ride. As you can tell we were all VERY serious about shooting the targets! Ha!
diving into the "pool" of legos....
playing in the Lego Land play zone...
They had a "miniland" area where they had recreated local land marks out of legos. Here's the Chiefs field made out of Legos...
A little karaoke to Justin Beiber "Baby" per Owen's request!!
ready to race his car that he and daddy built...
Owen's favorite part of Lego Land...ramping their lego car! He probably did it 100 times!
We were starving after our morning at LegoLand, so we headed to T-rex Cafe for some lunch...
Josh and I took turns doing a little shopping around the plaza while the kids napped and then we hit the water park for some fun....
Owen absolutely LOVED the big slides and did them by himself about 1000 times! His favorite thing to do was race daddy....somehow Owen always won!
On our way out of town we stopped by the Crown Center to check out the Dinosaur Exhibit and do a little shopping....
It was a short little vacation, but it was nice to get away and just spend time together as a family!
