T-Rex Cafe!

After Worlds of Fun, we stopped at the Legends mall in west KC and ate dinner at T-Rex Cafe. It was awesome!! They have an incredible display of animated dinosaurs in every area, as well as huge aquariums, a gift shop, Build-a-Dino, and even an area for the kids to do a little dino-bone digging, which we unfortunately didn't have time for. Our pictures don't do the place justice - you definitely have to see it for yourself. And the food was really good, too!

Worlds of Fun!

We took a "mini-vacation" to the KC area the 2nd weekend in August and spent a day at Worlds of Fun. Paul and Preston rode the rollercoasters together: the Boomerang (3rd car from top, front seat in pic below), and the Mamba 3 times, while I braved the Timberwolf with Preston myself (after downing a few dramamine, of course!). The girls and I hung out at the Camp Snoopy section while the boys were riding the big stuff, and then Paul took all the kids on the Flying Dutchman and the Sea Dragon (too much for my tummy!), and we all rode the Fjord Fjarlane and the Viking Voyager (twice!) together. The weather was perfect that day, not too hot and mostly sunny. We were exhausted at the end of our visit, but we had such a great time!!
