Vaca

We went on vacation to Kansas City over Memorial Weekend. We were celebrating the end of the school year and 13 WONDERFUL years of marriage! We knew Daddy was getting ready to get so busy at work that he wouldn’t be able to take off to do anything fun, so we decided to go ahead and go over the long holiday weekend.

We were there for 4 nights and we had so much fun, we wanted to stay 4 more!

We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge. We loved it and can’t wait to go back! We spent quite a bit of time at the water park each day, and we did some other fun stuff too.

One day, we planned to go to the new Legoland and Sealife aquarium. When we got there, we learned that there was a 2 1/2 hour wait to even get tickets and get in the door. NO THANKS! We had a very limited time for a vacation, and we weren’t going to waste it by standing in line. So, we went back inside the mall and checked out a dinosaur exhibit.

Before heading back to the resort, we ate lunch at Fritz’s. It was our first time to eat there and we loved it! We plan to go back next time we’re in town!

We placed our order by calling in to the kitchen from the black phone at the table. A few minutes later, a train carried our box of food to our table and dropped it on our tray.

Back at the resort, here’s Gracie coloring a t-shirt.

Here she is wearing her t-shirt and showing off her new stuffed friend.

 

Maybe the highlight of our trip, was the Sporting KC game. You all know that we are a soccer family, and we enjoy going to professional sports games, but this was our first time to a professional soccer game. As we enjoyed the day, we wondered what had taken us so long and couldn’t wait to get tickets to our next game!

KC WON!!!

After the game, we walked to the T-Rex Cafe. A trip to KC just isn’t complete without a meal there!

No, we don’t make a habit of letting our kids act like wild beasts at restaurants, but we made a bit of an exception for this picture :) We had a private table behind the volcano, so no one saw this outburst :)

Livestrong Sporting Park is a beautiful facility.

We enjoyed time in the indoor water park as well as in the outside pool.

Flying high!

We almost made a spontaneous decision to go to the soccer game a couple days later and stay another night. But, alas, we thought better of it and came home after 4 days as scheduled.

We had such a wonderful time!
