...And a Stop at a New Spot

And before calling it 'quits' in K.C., we decided to tag along with Jake, Clara, and Reva to Worlds of Fun for a day. This was Carson and Hannah's first trip here and they both had totally different interests. Carson's favorite ride was called 'Spinning Dragons' which is a roller coaster where the car spins around as its going around the track. Hannah, however, decided that Camp Snoopy was the place to be (except for the fact that she freaked out each time the guy dressed in the Snoopy suit came around).

Here is Hannah giving the 'thumbs up' in the Red Baron ride:

And Carson on the bumper cars:

The kids version of the 'Detonator' in Camp Snoopy (ask Tara about the big kids Detonator which reaches a speed of 45mph in 1 sec straight up in the air):

Hannah 'driving' a car:

Worlds of Fun was a blast. At the end of the day, both kids were pretty wiped out from all the junk food and constant running around. It was certainly worth the price of admission.

A Quick Trip To A Favorite Place

Before Carson started school, we decided to make a quick trip down to the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City. We asked 'Nana' (aka: JoAnn) to tag along as well. Here are 'the girls' during dinner our first night in K.C. :

It was really nice that Carson and Hannah could play with their cousins at one of their favorite spots on the planet. It was a good end to the summer and a quick vacation before the start of school.
