Homeschool Week

For months since they opened, our kiddos have been dying to go see the Sea Life aquarium and LegoLand in Kansas City.  This week Crown Center hosted a "Homeschool Week" where local attractions had special activities and discounts for admissions for homeschoolers, so this was our chance! 
  We snagged Ducky and Grandma and made the trip to see what we could see in the sea and such:)  Our first stop was Sea Life. The kids were so thrilled. From getting to pet a horseshoe crab, to "helping" the stingray gal give her talk, to getting to do the interactive quiz throughout the exhibit, it was a hit!

what a good big brother and sister!

For lunch we ate at Fritz's in Crown Center.  It is such a neat place where little trains bring your food to your table.  Little guy especially was enchanted by the trains running around.

Just being at the Crown Center shops brought back memories of going there every Christmas for several years, as well as other times when I went with my best bud to watch her stepdad's band preform. 

Next stop was Lego Land which the kids loved.  There was lots for them to do - from the rides to the play area, to all the things to build.  I was impressed by the Lego replicas of Kansas City landmarks.  By the end of the day we were all wonderfully worn out.  What an adventure!
