Back in July we shoved the kids in the car around 3 am and hit the road for MO! We jam packed our trip with excursions to Science City, Crown Center, the Zoo, and even a little family reunion. It was ridiculously hot the entire stay which made us have to stay indoors a little more then planned but we survived! It was awesome to see everybody and the kids still talk about it.
So first...we drove there:
We played at Grandma's house a lot and spent some time at the Jamesport park:
On the Fourth we did some fireworks in the evening, but in the day we went to Crown Center and ate at the Crayola Cafe and visited the candy store there, we also took a hideous family photo when we were eating...and you don't have to see it, be grateful:
Ryan had to fly back to Utah to job hunt, which he was successful at, and he now is doing great at Vivint! Woohoo! We went to the Chillicothe Fair where Liam put on his serial killer face and I looked like a blob of red jello. The kids loved all the animals though and afterwards we got ice cream and went to the park:
We went to the Zoo even though it was like 1000 degrees outside and it was awesome! We got a discount due to the heat (which probably should make you reconsider, but...not us) and took every form of transportation available to us. We got to see some chimps very up close and some very sleepy lions, but the biggest hit with the kids was the polar bear.
rawr.
My mom really wanted to see them in Amish hats, (that would be hats that are actually Amish, like LDS Scripture Markers, they have been baptized) so once that was taken care of we took around 3 zillion pictures of them and the cuteness:
Anywho it was great, we had a blast!
