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

Botancial Gardens (part 2)

We took Noni to the Botanical Gardens - Rainforest and Japanese portions.

Inside the Rainforest, in front on the waterfall.

Feeding the Koi fish.

Well, after we did this and venture out on some stepping stones within a cove, I discovered that there were life saving hooks posted around the lake. It was that deep. Before I found them, Alex and I were darning enough to cross the stones together. I had some hestiation creeping up inside me, but it wasn't until I crossed or attemped to with Tony, that I became overly fearful. Tony and I got half way across until my instincts ROARED within me and as he took the next leap to the much further away stone from the previous one, that I grabbed him in mid-air and brought him back to the stone we were previously standing on and quickly went back the way we came. My heart was beating so fast in my throat that I was instantly nausous. I haven't felt that feeling before and I wasn't going to dimiss it !! God helped us, I foresaw what was about to happen to both of us. That stone was too far for his legs and at the last, literal second, saved him. he was so disappointed that he didn't get to cross the cove like Alex did, but I was alright with it. He didn't understand and I had to just let him get over it.

Moon Bridge...very steep to climb up and down it.

Having lunch overlooking the river in a pavillion. At the same time, we were watching a famous football player tape his commerical for Wings N' Things.
