Outside of the Crown Center mall, they had an art show going on to raise money and awareness for the importance of keeping art classes in schools. They had a sidewalk chalk contest of sorts--and it was amazing! These people were so talented! They also had balloons, a girl doing the hula hoop, and dancers on a stage.
We went to find a place called Kaleidescope that someone had told me about. We found it----10 minutes before it closed. We will definitely be heading back here soon!
It is completely free, and it's a HUGE arts and crafts play room! The kids get to go in and glue, cut, paint, color, etc to their hearts content. We cannot wait to go back!
We continued our tour by driving around looking for some more of the 32 fountains we hadn't seen yet. (We later found out there's more like 209 fountains in KC. Nope, I'm sure you won't be seeing all 209 on this blog anytime soon!)
What we found was Union Station. They have a science museum inside with a dinosaur exhibit going on right now, so we saw the one outside, and Josh took this pic:
Yes, he did that on purpose!
Union Station was incredible! HUGE, beautiful building!
This is inside looking at the ceiling.
Right outside the Union Station was the Bloch fountain:
Love this pic! 
We have been enjoying our own little tour of KC. There are so many things to do and see here! Olathe has been fun, too. The city pools they have are the best! I will be posting on that later. The kids can't get enough of the swimming in Olathe. I feel so blessed to be here for the summer. I will look forward to being back in Oklahoma, but thankfully we are in a place that is so nice, and the people are very friendly. That makes it all a little easier!

I should have done more homework before we went for the wedding. But it was pouring rain the morning of and didn't seem like much fun to get out it it.
Matt and I saw the Dead Sea Scrolls inside Union Station in KC. Love that building! Looks like you are having tons of fun!
