Kansas City-spring break

I was on spring break this past week, and so was my mom, so Layne took a day off work and our family and my parents headed to Kansas City for a little get away! Saturday was cloudy and rainy but we did not let that stop us from having some fun! Caden is good to go in the van watching movies--Brynn watches for awhile and then needs a little more entertainment--she was very interested in what Mommy and Grandma were up to in the backseat and asked about 100 times--"What you doing Mommy?" "What you doing Grandma?" Never a dull moment! We took a lunch break at the turnpike and had to pose with the Jayhawk there! Then we headed into Kansas City and went straight to a cupcake place I had been told to try called Baby Cakes. This bakery had about 20 different kinds of cupcakes and the kids loved picking their kind--as well as the adults! We saved those for a treat later in the day and headed to Crown Center to stretch our legs and check out the free Sea Life exhibit.

Mom and Brynn--it was cloudy enough that they had the lights on around Crown Center--very pretty.

Waiting in line for Sea Life.

Caden and Mommy in front of the huge octopus that greeted us at the front door.
Our kids loved sea life--lots of stairs, slopes, wheels to turn, and sea grass to run through--you just had to keep an eye on our two kids while a million other kids were running around and playing as well!

Brynn riding the dolphin--I think she was a little upset that I stopped her running up and down the slope to sit on the dolphin as I see a little attitude in this picture!

Caden and Grandpa spinning the boxes to make a sea horse.

Time to turn the wheel.

Trying to get a 3 generation picture--not the greatest pic, but we tried!

Finally, we had enough Sea Life and headed to our hotel for a cupcake break--check out our yummy cupcakes--we had chocolate with vanila frosting, chocolate with peanut butter frosting, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, lemon with lemon frosting, and carmel with carmel frosting--were they worth $2.75 apiece--probably not, but they were good and something different to try!

Vacation would not be complete unless we can take the boy swimming--so both nights we braved the pool--which seemed a little chilly to me--and let Caden jump, swim, and play catch in the water--he did sleep very well!
We finished Saturday evening by eating at Granitite City and watching the KState Basketball game.
