So I had many days of fun with Grace and Sam while I was home but here are a few highlights! They are at such a fun age to take them to do things and they can be independent enough that they enjoy things and also that they can do some things for themselves now too! One day we were at the mall shopping, my mom, sister, Grace and I and the boys all decided to come join us for dinner and for some play time. At the mall they have this big bungee jump/trampoline type of thing that the kids can jump in. I think it kind of pulled them up and they didn't even have to do all that much jumping! Sam really enjoyed it!!! He went really high up there.
Grace enjoyed it until the end when she was going really high and when she would come down low, she would say, "Aunt Kammie, I'm getting a little scared." It was pretty funny.
One Sunday afternoon before I left, we all went out to lunch at this place called Five Guys Burgers and Fries. It had really good burgers and good homemade fries as well!!! They have peanuts there that you can eat while you are waiting for your food I guess. Grace is the nutcracker as she loves opening the peanuts for everyone. She eats a few of them but enjoys just cracking them better! In fact, she was sitting on them to crack them!
We sat Nate up on the sacks of potatoes that they make the fries out of!
Sam, probably drinking my diet Coke! ha ha
And yes, Aunt Kammie even spoils these kids with some high quality tastes by getting them Starbucks hot chocolate! It's so hard not to spoil these cute little faces though!!!!
For our special day before I left, I took Grace and Sam downtown to Crown Center. Our day started off by eating breakfast at IHOP which is definitely my thing that I do with them when I go home. They love it, as I do too! Then I drove them downtown and we got our tickets for Kaleidescope. It is this place that has a bunch of leftovers from Hallmark and the kids can make whatever crafts that they want. They even have this cool puzzle machine where you color on this cardboard piece and then put it through the puzzle machine and it cuts out a puzzle for you from your picture. Pretty cool. I have taken the kids there a few times but they are enjoying it more and more. We had some time before Kaleidescope so we went and played on the outdoor toys there since it was such a beautiful day. The kids had a good time!
With the giant nutcracker!
In front of the famous Kansas City fountains. In the summer I am going to take them back there, because you can wear your swimming suit and run through the fountains! I can't wait for them to do that. And next winter, I am going to take them back down there and take them ice skating on the rink that is there!!!
Working hard on a project at Kaleidescope!
They have all these markers, paints, tape, glue, cut up paper, etc to make crafts out of. The kids love it!!!
Fun times!
