Sea Life Aquarium

When we went to Kansas City for Rob and Ashli's wedding, we made sure we took the kids to see some attractions.
 
This was the last fieldtrip that we took. 
 
A couple of the pictures were unclear because we weren't allowed to use the flash.

 
Learning about what happens when waves hit the shore and starfish.
 
Petting aquarium

 
Shark and stingray tank
 


 
Octopus
 
Time to walk through the tanks.



 
And on top of them.

Dinosaur Exhibit & LegoLand

After lunch with Uncle Phil in KC we explored Crowne Center for some cool exhibits.
 
1st we visited the Dinosaur Land. 

 
2nd we visited Legoland.  So COOL!!!
 
We learned how they make legos.

 


 









Next we went on a Lego Adventure slaying the dragon to save the princess.  We had to use lazor guns.  I had probably just as much fun as the kids did.

 
 
After the cook ride we walked through the lego displays.
This one was of the KC Royals baseball stadium.  It had lights and was interactive.
 
Then  football stadium.
 
KC Raceway.
 
Construction Site 
 
A concert.
 
Wizard of Oz
 

Another ride where you have to pedal your heart out inorder to get your lego wizard seat to raise up in the air.


 
Moving on to creating your own race car then to test it in a race on a ramp.


 We ended our adventure with a 4D lego movie. 
Glasses, sound effects, props falling on us (snow, heat from a fire, water and wind), sound and visuals.  Loved it!
 
 

Our Trip to KC

 We just arrived to Kansas City and met Uncle Phil at Crowne Center's Crayola Cafe.  Everyone, yes even Mark, colored while we waited for our lunch.  Food was not good but it was a cute place!
 
 
 

 
After lunch we went to the hotel to unload everything and Uncle Robby surprised us with a visit.
 
A couple days later, we (I really mean Mark) helped him move all the heay things to Ashli's house; now their home!
 
I saw this cute restaurant the last time I was visiting with Aliana's nickname and, of course, had to capture it.

Hi everyone!

We have been getting a lot of things and events checked off on our calendar.  We would love to share them with you, but Blogger/ Picasa are having problems and there are a few of us out there that are having trouble uploading photos.  So when they get the issues resolved, we will be loading tons of memories.

Thanks for visiting,
The Deno Den
