I love Kansas City

Weekend getaways are so refreshing!  And this family needed a break.  We planned our escape to Kansas City for the begining of November.  It was perfect timing as we avoided 2 showings and 1 open house.  Providing us the much needed relief from the constant cleaning that comes with having your home on the market.   And all the while, I had dreamed of taking the kids to Kalidescope to let their imagination run wild.  While Jeff craved some famous KC BBQ.  Kansas City was calling our name! Just one last time before we pack up and head north.

  We stayed at this fantastic boutique hotel.  I love Priceline, we got a steal on this sweet room.

  which looked like this... the very next morning.   
Do you see what I see?  One child in his undies! One child wearing no pants!  And one big husband hiding behind the blanket?  Yep.  That's my family and I couldn't love them more.

Kalidescope is an awesome arts and crafts center for kids.  I went there as a child myself and have longed to return someday.  It was every bit of what I remember and even more fun when  sharing it with your own children.

This is the giant kalidescope that projects on the wall.  Zachary could of stayed forever just watching it change.   Aweome.   
And this cool camera projects an image on movie screen.  In the pitch black.
Glow in the dark painting.  A favorite.
 Good 'ol fashion water colors.  Still cool.

                                                                         How cute are they?

This picture speaks volumes. Ellie is showering Avery with hugs and smiles. While Zachary is keeping his eye on Ellie. Watching her every move and following her lead. Avery, front and center is thriving on the attention. These three were meant to be together.

what's the big deal about Kansas City?

I mean really? We used to live there, we bought that tee-shirt and wore it out already . . .
just kidding, good job Laur, way to go! pretty soon Priceline will be paying YOU to stay some where.

Love,
