Monday we decided to go to Kansas City, MO. Doug is the only one of us who had been there and since my dad was in town, we thought it would be fun to go and experience something new.
This first picture collage is of Drew on our way to Kansas City. It rained the whole way there and the entire time we spent in Kansas City. But we still had a good time!
When we got there, we decided to go and see the St. Patrick's Day parade. Luckily I had a plastic cover over the stroller so Drew wouldn't get soaked from the rain. 
This picture here is for my father-in-law! Dennie, Doug thought you'd enjoy this!
This one was Drew's favorite. He absolutely loves planes and helicopters, so when this came by, Drew freaked out! He wanted to go and ride it!
And last, but certainly not least of our parade adventures....what guy wouldn't want to go and have their hair cut at a place like this?!! Spanky's Cuts For Men...I can only imagine what lies within that salon!
After the parade we were getting hungry, so off to the Crown Center Mall for a little lunch. We ate at the Crayola Cafe. We thought it would be fun for Drew. They give each child their own Crayola cup with a straw that's plastic, but a harder plastic and bendable. As you can see, Drew is having fun with his colored silverware!
The place mats there were paper with an object on it, and you had crayons to color it and make it your own picture to take home with you! The pail was Doug's picture, the one next to it was Drew's picture, and the bottom one was my dad's with the help from Drew! I have no idea where the picture of mine went, but I had a dinosaur.
After that we headed over to this place called Kaleidoscope. (And yes, I'm aware that I spelled it wrong on my picture)! It's an art place owned by Hallmark. It's a free thing for kids. When we got there we found out that normally they only take kids in grades 2-5, but since it was St. Patties day, they were having a family day for kids of all ages! It was really neat, Drew was able to make a hat, paint a picture and make his own puzzle!
We then went for a drive over to the two pro stadiums. They are in the same complex, just a parking lot away from one another. Arrowhead stadium is where the Chiefs play, and Kauffman stadium is where the Royals play. It was closed to the public because crews were trying to get Kauffman stadium ready for opening day. But Doug drove in anyway!
This was such a neat experience. I had no idea the jail was built the way it was. It was also nice to see the statues of the men inside so you can really see how small it was. It wasn't even tall enough for one of the men, that later in his life he walked with a stoop....amazing!
One of the other days, my dad and Drew made a fort! Here is Doug trying to get in on the action!
