Kansas City 2012

We headed to KC for a quick weekend get-a-way for the kids. We found a great deal online for hotel, LEGOland, and the new SeaLife exhibit. We stayed at the Westin Crown Center, which is attached to everythong we were going to KC to do. We visited K.C. 's newest attractions which are LEGOland and Sealife. Both were well worth the trip. The aquarium is very cool. The jellyfish were my favorite part. Jack loved the underwater tunnel, which had stingrays and sharks swimming all around.






LEGOland, I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or Darrell.  The amount of work that goes into the works of art at LEGO land is amazing.  Jack built a racecar, Megan built a house.  They had an amazing display of the KC skyline as well as the wonderful world of Oz.











Crown Center has an amazing amount of things to do and see.  We visited Union Staion, Kalidascope, Fritz's, and the fountains.  If you plan a trip I highly recommend Crown Center.  They offer a lot of free activities and kept the kids entertained ALL DAY!!!!





 


St. Louis Zoo

I'm so late in posting pictures, but we were lucky enough to preview the new Sea Lion enclosure at the St. Louis Zoo.  We were able to walk through the underwater dome, enjoy a Sea Lion show and visit some of the other exhibits at our zoo.  Thanks again to my niece Courtney, who joined us an endured the great game of 120 questions with Jack:)  I even convinced Courtney to feed the sharks and stingrays
