Just before school started we decided to take a last minute trip to Kansas City!
We started our vacation in Kirkwood Missouri where we boarded our train. I've been wanting to take the kids for a train ride since Jake and Tyler where little and loved Thomas the tank engine so much. It was a five hour ride with lots of beautiful scenery.
Ty wasn't too impressed, but he was comfortable!
We spent a day at Crown Center where we shopped and spent time at the Crayola Factory.
But I think all the kids would agree that the Basketball Museum was a favorite.
We spent a whole day at that place.
Tim joined us on Friday and took the older boys to the Harley motorcycle factory.
Then we headed home. We stopped at two church history sites on the way.
Liberty Jail, where the Prophet Joseph Smith was held and the visitors center in Independence Missouri.
It was a fun weekend, but it made me realize the kids are ready to start school. They were bugging each other the entire time. I guess summer can't last forever!
my mom took us on the train from kirkwood when we were little! i remember it was fun i just don't know where we went. KC is fun though we went with the Kofoeds. nice to have a little family time before school starts and things are crazy again!
