Trip to KC

Back in March we took Brooklyn to Kansas City for the weekend for her birthday.  There is so much to do there and they have an American Girl Store.  We woke up Saturday morning and went too there new LEGO LAND in Downtown.  Brooklyn loves Lego's, so I thought that we would give it a shot.

We were pretty disappointed with LEGO LAND.  First, it was $58 for the 3 of us and it was TOTALLY not worth it.  Second, they let people who purchase tickets on the Internet in first.  We were the first people in line when they opened at 10, but had to wait until 10:30 until they let us in.  There were 2 lame rides (one was broken) and basically a bunch of little play areas for the kids.  It would have been a great place for a birthday party and that is about it.  The only area that we liked was where they had all of the miniatures built of Lego's...

 For lunch, we went to a place across the street called Fritz's.

 Little trains deliver your food.

And that evening we went to the American Girl Store at the Oak Park Mall.  We gave her money for her birthday so she could stock up on "necessities" from the AG store.

 I think she made out ok....

 And of course there was time for swimming.

 Dinner at Cheesecake Factory (my favorite!)

 Being Silly with Daddy....

 And finally, watching some cartoons before bed.

 A great weekend in KC!
