Kansas City or Bust

We finally made it.  Being far from a temple and having little kids makes it really really hard to get to the temple.  Let's be honest here.  Who wants to watch your kids for an entire day?  So when it finally worked out for us to go with another family and do a kid swap, we were so excited!  It was crazy, don't get me wrong.  But the blessings of the temple are always worth it.  Jon and I were both head bobbing on the drive home, which is never a good thing.  We had to make a pit stop and load up with some goodies to make that 3 1/2 hour drive.  Three and a half hours feels really long when you're really tired.  We didn't get the temple pictures I was hoping for.  But I am sure we will have more opportunities.  We had to do something fun for the kids so we took them to a special lunch place where a train delivers the food.  And we also went to Kaleidoscope, which is basically a very cutely decorated giant craft room for kids.  We also stopped at the fountains for a few minutes.

 These are the kids sleeping at the hotel.  It must be genetic because they HAVE to be touching someone while they sleep.  And all of them do this.

 Kaleidoscope.

 Fritzs, You can't see how the train delivers the food in the pic, but it has a track around the ceiling and drops it down onto a tray that lowers to your table.  Brig thought it was awesome, that boy never lacks enthusiasm.
