A Weekend in KC

 A few weekends ago we spent the weekend in KC.  As soon as we found out that there was an American Girl store there we had to go!  We also wanted to go to the zoo.  Jason and I have always loved KC and were ready to go again.  Friday after Jason got off work we headed to KC.  We actually stayed in Overland Park, KS which right next to KC.  Overland Park is where the American Girl store was and lots of restaurants and shopping.  When we got to the hotel (around 8:30) we had promised B that we would go swimming.  She was one happy little girl!













Saturday morning we headed to the Zoo.  We got there right when it opened and the weather was perfect!  I have to say that we were very impressed by how clean and beautiful this zoo was.  This is definitely our favorite zoo so far.  As you can see from the map below, this zoo is huge!  Brooklyn was a trooper too!  She wanted to no part of riding in a stroller and she walked through the entire zoo with us!

The polar bear was the first animal we saw and he was quite entertaining to watch!

 We were walking over this bridge to go to "Africa" just as a train was going under us.

This part of the zoo had a lift that took you across some of the animals and of course we had to ride it!

Enjoying some ice cream before we left.  I am sooo glad we got the the zoo when we did, because there were sooooo many people going into the zoo when we left.

And finally a picture of my girl in front of her store!  We had such a wonderful time and definitely plan on going back very soon.  I just found out that Lego Land is opening in May!!!
