I found more pictures....from Kansas!

I totally forgot I had these pictures....they hadn't made it onto my computer yet, so I had nothing to work with until yesterday.  I really am surprised when I see these....we crammed so many activities into our last week in Kansas.  Wow.  I must have been tired after all of this!

One thing we HAD to do was go back to visit the Crown Center in Kansas City.  We had been there once with Josh, but we needed to go back and play a little more before we moved back home.  One of our favorite places in the Crown Center is Chips...the chocolate factory.  YUM.  We each got a little something, and took some cookies n' cream fudge back home to Josh.


Right outside the Crown Center is a sprayground of sorts....water fountains that spray to music.  We were not prepared the first time we went, so this time we had swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, etc.  We were set!  





Here are the kiddos at a Clifford exhibit in the mall...they had fun, but they would have liked it better if they were a little younger.  Oh well...we do what we can!


One of my favorite things about Olathe was the fact that every Sunday and Wednesday night after church, we didn't rush home, but instead we stayed outside and a lot of the kids from the congregation would play ball, ride bikes, scooters, whatever.  It was a great time of fellowship with other parents and kids.  
This pic is of Dylan and his spark scooter.  Yes, it's blurry, but you get the idea.  Very cool present from Santa last year!

We also fit one more trip to the KC zoo in our week.  It was worth it!

And of course, the freebies....Deanna Rose Farm!  We fished:

Fed goats:


And panned for 'gems':

We loved our time in Kansas....and miss our friends there!
