Sara's brother Jim called a few months ago wondering if we would be interested in meeting Kansas City for a long weekend during their Spring Break. Um, YES!!!!!!!! So we took off after school on Thursday (after Sara bought Brian a new car.....separate story under a different post LOL), picked Daddy up in Joplin after a day trip checking out clubs for work and after a quick nap by the kiddos we were there full of energy and excitement for a weekend with Nana Jeanne, Papa Steve, Uncle Jim, Aunt Annie, Sam and Elena!!!
We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge the first night and the kids were so excited to swim!!
And go on the slides - over and over and over!
The resort is a great place for kids! This was their story time!
Taking selfies!
After a delivery snafu we had a late dinner of pizza!
On Friday we had more waterpark fun and then Daddy, Annie and Sara hit up the outlets quick!
Around 4pm we checked out and headed to the next hotel - we were afraid if we stayed at GWL the whole time we wouldn't get out and explore the city bc the kids (little and big) would just want to stay at the waterpark the whole time!
So we made it to our next hotel in time for Happy Hour! (the same one we stayed at last year during Trevor's soccer tournament but it had gone through a remodel making it all fancy and modern!)
The kiddos were excited to have sleepovers with the cousins! We got the girls in our room!
On Saturday we had a little down time so the boys watched TV!
The girls played with Nana!
And Auntie Sara got the girls ready! Elena wanted her hair just like Ashley's - bow and all!!!
First stop Saturday was iFly for Uncle B, Trevor and Sam. Indoor skydiving!
We think Trevor was a little scared but he was so brave!!!
Go Trevor!
Go Daddy!
Afterward they were all smiles!
After that we headed to lunch and Legoland Discovery! Super fun!!!
Then we hit up a BBQ place for early dinner - wanted to make it back to the hotel for happy hour ;)
Cousin love!
The kids had fun swimming in the indoor/outdoor pool!
On Sunday we had breakfast then we each headed out. But we got to have Nana with us!!! Not pictured here LOL Ashley was scheduled to have her tonsils out on the Tuesday after we got back but the funniest thing. We were at the ENT on 3/28 for Trevor's 6 month post-surgery follow-up and Mommy asked Dr. Black if he wanted to look at Ashley's tonsils since he would be taking them out in 2 weeks. Pretty sure he thought Mommy was crazy but he looked in her mouth, said huh and said yep, they aren't coming out! They look much better! So apparently after the mono they went back down! YAY!!! But Nana still agreed to come home with us and just moved her flight up a few days!!!!
