kansas city trip

welp, i don't blog for a week and them bam! i hit you with a post full o' photos.
i'm making up for lost time. . . or something.

anyhooooooo....we got back last night from a super fun trip to kck.
i am happy to be home but am so sad it's over.
boo hoo.
summer is flying way too fast.

aj took a half day off last wednesday and we headed to the big city to stay the night with some dear friends in their {amazing} new house.
new, like they moved in two days before we came.
those are good friends right there.

we had the best time.
our kids play so well together.
so happy it worked out to see them. :)

on 4th o' july we met up with aj's family and spent the next four days with them.

3 boys and a girl each...pretty perfect cousin combo, i have to say. :)

they got started catching up immediately.
these cousins love each other so much. what a gift!

thursday night we went to watch a big firework show.
i always love it but it's always so late for my little ones.
bless his heart, saw tried so hard to stay awake and only made it to seeing the first few.

right before he crashed out, he said, "mama, when i gwow up, i want to make firewuks for you."
oh bless his sweet baby heart, he's such a lover, that one.

friday was a much anticipated day for my boys.
we took them to legoland discovery center.
avery had been counting down the days.
they'd read all about it in their lego club magazine so they were pumped.

{cute cousins}

my boys build and create with legos constantly so this was the perfect place for them.

munchkin land out of legos.
they had all the scenes from wizard of oz made out of legos.
obviously the pictures don't do it justice.

kansas city.

go cheifs.
so many minifigures!!

all in all, legoland discovery center was really neat.
it was a lot smaller than avery had hoped, but it was still fun.
i think the 4D movie was everyone's favorite.
they sprayed water and snow and wind on you at different points....very exciting.

we also went to deanna rose farmstead one afternoon.

this is one of my favorite activities to do when we're in KC.

ruby loved all the animals.

it was so much fun to watch her discover them and talk to them.

"hi ca ca!" {quack, quack}.

we did lots of park playing as well.

with 8 young kids, that's a top priority. 

run those boys!

so many boys and two sweet girlies. :)

it was such a fun time.

so hard to see it end.

loved the time with aj's awesome family and loved all that extra time with my AJ.

yay for summer. 

the best time of the year.
