kc trip

we spent saturday in kansas city for the first time in over a month. we had so much fun and were able to pack a lot of great times into only a short daytrip. we started the morning with cartoons and a relaxed breakfast together, then loaded up and hit the road about 8:30...which seemed like late in the day since we are out the door before 7:30 M-F. Henry had a GREAT ride with NO crying...he slept awhile then woke up and happily played a few toys and looked out the window! It was awesome, as we have maybe only had one or two other trips go that smoothly...it totally helped my sanity and I think led to the rest of the days success.

Once in kc we spent a couple of hours with Nana and Grandpa running around their house and being silly before meeting Grammy and Papa for lunch at our all-time favorite Jalapenos!!!! Yum!!! the kids ate like crazy of course and had a lot of fun. After nap, the boys and I were off to our great friend Max's 3rd birthday party where we got to see almost all of our old playgroup friends. It was so fun to see everyone, chat with my mom friends, and let the boys run wild! It was sad to say goodbye again to such a great group of women, but I have to say it felt good this time...I don't know what was different because I still miss playgroup each week and OP in general, but I was content knowing we were going home! Yay! I obviously did an awful job of taking pictures this trip, but did manage to catch some priceless photos of my dad riding in a wagon with Avery...he pulled her up the hill and rode down with her at least 10 times!!!
