A Trip to Kansas City

Memorial Day in Kansas
At the end of May we headed back to Kansas for a week.  It was Brayden's first plane ride and a chance to introduce him to many of our friends and family. 

A Trip to Gage Park
We spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa.  Larkin had a blast going on the train and walking her grandparents around the zoo!

It's family photo time!

Good Times with Old Friends!
Our good friend, Abby, was nice enough to let us crash at her house for the week. It was wonderful having all that baby stuff around and getting to catch up with some friends.
  Here are Brayden and Lily hanging out for the afternoon.

A Day at Deanna Rose
So Deanna Rose is one of the coolest kid places we have been.  It is pretty much a giant petting zoo filled with places to feed the animals, spots to fish, horses to ride, and lots of play areas.  Not to mention that most days of the week it is free of charge.
Larkin and Noah BEFORE we got to Deanna Rose.  They must have known it would be a long day!

A Trip to Wonder Scope
Wonder Scope is another cool place we stumbled upon.  It is an old school that has been turned into an activity center for kids.  Each room has a different theme and kids get to explore many different activities.  I am not sure if the kids or the dads had more fun that day!

Family Time
We also got to spend lots of time with family. Larkin and Brayden had a great time hanging out with their cousins, Aunt Tara and Uncle Dan. The cousins LOVED having the little kids around. Sure wish they lived closer!

Another Trip to the Zoo!
Well we had plenty of time outdoors while we were in Kansas.  Here we are at the Kansas City Zoo.  It was a nice way to spend Memorial Day with both our friends and our family!
