KANSAS CITY

fabulous kc

We started our fabulous day of KC by having breakfast at our resort. The breakfast was not so delicious but our table was in what looked like a cabin and the girls were thrilled, so who’s complaining? No one around here. 
Next stop, Legoland Discovery Center.  It’s a new attraction in Kansas City and was very popular! Luckily we got tickets online before we arrived and saved ourselves about an hour in line. 

Look who is having the most fun….

The girls are hooked on the Wizard of Oz so imagine their delight when they saw this display. Can you spot the Glinda? Annabelle found it instantly!
This is Dorothy’s house. The girls pushed a button to activate the tornado that made the house spin in the air. Fancy!
The Emerald City
The Wicked Witch’s castle. Annabelle pressed the button that caused Dorothy to throw the bucket of water and melt the witch. Gwyneth was so impressed!
And now off to see a football game…
And this is where we are….
Just a little short to go on the rides by herself. Luckily she doesn’t mind riding with her mama.

We headed across the street for lunch at Fritz’s, another delicious and exciting recommendation from Curtis and Erica. You order your lunch on the phone at your booth and they the food is delivered by train. Yes, by train. Fabulous!

Getting our food delivered.

We met up for dinner with the Mason’s at 54th Street Grill for some gringo dip. So, so good. Then we headed over to their house for some play time. The girls adore Felix. They can’t get enough of her.

Wedding Whirlwind

Congratulations, Erica and Curtis!
The happily engaged couple below are now husband and wife…

Our super fab friends, Erica & Curtis, were married Friday evening in Kansas City. The wedding reception was Saturday night and we were so thrilled to be able to join in on the festivities. Sheila and Lansing were so great to offer to watch the girls for us overnight. What great friends we have! We dropped the girls off mid-morning at the Tyler house and then off to the airport. We arrived in Kansas City with just enough time to grab a late lunch at Jack Stack BBQ which was delicious. The reception was at The Uptown Theatre – the venue was so original and beautiful.
We met Curtis & Erica when were living in Chicago and we all joined a table-top shuffleboard league together. Yep, you read that right. We were in a rockin’ shuffleboard league! We’ve remained friends through both our moves with the help of Project Runway pools, Top Chef pools, and multiple football pools. It had been almost two years since I’ve seen them and couldn’t have asked for a better time at the wedding. Erica’s dress was so sassy and absolutely perfect for her. I loved her little green shoes – what a splash and a perfect accent. All of their friends and family were so friendly, we just had a wonderful time!
We hopped on an early morning flight and rescued the Tyler’s from our girls about 10:00 a.m. All in all we were gone less than 24 hours. It was definitely a whirlwind but well worth it. The girls had a great time with their friends and we did too! Thanks to Sheila, Lansing, Erica, and Curtis for a fun-filled weekend!
