Visiting with Cousins

My sister's family and my mom came to visit around the 4th of July. We had a great time playing with the cousins and showing them around Kansas City.

We went to fireworks on the 4th at Fort Leavenworth. Sam loved his first fireworks! It was a good show and we were very close to it.

On the 5th we went to downtown Kansas City. We started out at Kalaidescope at Crown Center and then had lunch at Fritz's, where your food is delivered by train. After that we went to Union Station and explored Science City. We finished the day having dinner at T-Rex, Gabby's favorite spot.

On the 6th we went to a park and had some pictures made (we rarely all get together like this). We had a picnic at the park and then went back home. The kids went swimming, where Gabby went off the high-dive for the first time and Jonathan went off the low dive for the first time. After supper, we looked at some of the historical stuff around post.

The 7th was our last day and we went to St Joseph, Missouri. The Pony Express jumped off from there and we had fun at the museum. We went to another museum, the Patee Museum, which has lots of fun historical stuff. The kids loved the merry-go-round.

We were sad to see them leave on the 8th. We were also all very tired!
