A Weekend in Kansas City

After the debacle with the inside-out shirt, our visit with Grandpa John and Grandma Judy has gone much more smoothly. I think it's even fair to say that we've been having fun.

Went out to breakfast.

Waited for a table.

IMG_3604.jpg

Tried the new menu items.

IMG_3610.jpg

And hung out with Great-Grandma Alma.

We went to the dump to do recycling.

IMG_3629.jpg

Threw bottles.

IMG_3641.jpg

And had to recover by taking a nap.

We ate breakfast on the patio.

IMG_3651.jpg

And hung out with Grandma Judy.

After breakfast, we went to Powell Gardens and got lost in a maze of hay bales.

IMG_3672.jpg

Met a scarecrow.

IMG_3684.jpg

And totally dissed it.

IMG_3685.jpg

We played in fountains.

IMG_3703.jpg

Observed bananas in the act of growing.

IMG_3708.jpg

Met a terrifying clown.

IMG_3716.jpg

Walked right by Whistler's Mummy without saying hi.

IMG_3718.jpg

Reflected on the subtle majesty of nature.

IMG_3717.jpg

Stole strawberries from the horticultural exhibit and ate them in spite of the rules.

IMG_3732.jpg

Rode a horse.

IMG_3734.jpg

Primed the pump.

IMG_3742.jpg

Watered the plants.

IMG_3739.jpg

Got Gothic with Grandpa John.

IMG_3743.jpg

Climbed into the chicken coop.

IMG_3751.jpg

And climbed back out again.

IMG_3748.jpg

We took a ride on the barrel train.

IMG_3760.jpg

Down a big hill and back again.

IMG_3763.jpg

Back home again, we grilled.

IMG_3790.jpg

Ate lemon meringue pie.

IMG_3784.jpg

Tried on Grandpa John's glasses.

IMG_3815.jpg

And wracked our brains trying to figure out what he was thinking when he dressed Alden inside out on Friday morning.

IMG_3812.jpg

To cap it all off, we had a bath.

And now we are in bed, where anyone should be at 12:30 on a Sunday night. Except for Robbi, who in all likelihood is just getting started with her day.
