Mini vacation

Yay for mini vacations. We went on a big vacation in the spring, but another vacation was in order. We decided to go to Kansas City. We have wanted to go to the T-Rex cafe for awhile now and it did not disapoint. I probably could have posted twice as many pictures, but here are a few.

The girls had a blast and so did we. We loved the dinosaurs that moved although Lily really did have a hard time understanding that they weren't alive. :)

Then we went to our hotel and swam in the pool and just had fun as a family. My hubby picked a hotel right across the street from the Red Sox game that we were going to. That made it possible for us to just walk to the game.

The game went from 7:10-9:30. Since that is way past the girls bedtime, we were shocked that they were great for the whole game. I had been prepared to walk them back to the hotel, but they loved the game. Lily asked lots of questions during it and she loved walking around the place with me. I also packed lots of snacks...including cotton candy so we were all very happy!

In the morning, we headed to the zoo. This really was Valerie's second time, but the first time that she was really able to get into it and excited!

She wasn't so sure about feeding the goats at first, but then she loved it. I thought it was funny that she opened her own mouth to feed them. :)

She loved all of the animals and her big sister was trying to teach her all about them.

The zoo also had started decorating for Fall so that was fun. Lily loved the Charlie brown cut outs!

Mini vacations are so important. They just give you something to look forward to and just enough excitement to hold you until the next big vacation.
