Kansas City

After we left Utah we headed to Kansas City (which is where Dane's brother Trent and his cute family live) for a Church family reunion. Since Dane's sister Ashlee lives in Nebraska, Trent is in Missouri, we are in Virginia, and Myrna and Doug are in Utah it's hard to get everyone together but it's so fun when we finally can all get together!!

The first day we were there we all went to the zoo. They had this sweet polar bear that would come right up to the window where everyone was standing and he would backflip into the water over and over and then come up and put his paws up to the window - it was really sweet! The first picture is Beck and his cousin Kai in front of the polar bear even though you can't see the sweet bear - darn

That night we all went out for pizza and then took a drive to see the beautiful new temple in Kansas City.

Beck loved hanging out with all his cousins, he especially loved Delaney and Abby and they were so cute with him. One of the nights while we were driving they came in our car with us and had Beck giggling the whole time.

We went to a Royals game while we were there, and lucky for us it was dollar hotdog night so of course Dane and Trent had to have a contest to see who could eat more - dollar hotdog night ended up being a lot more expensive than you'de think. Beck loved the game at first but then just got really frustrated because he wanted to go down and play on the field too.

The next day we went to a childrens science museum, it was so awesome there were so many fun things for the kids, Beck was in heaven cause they had golf, so we spent most of our time in that area.

Beck and his cute little cousins Crew and Bennett playing on the trains together at the childrens museum. Beck has 3 cousins within about a year of him and they are all boys so when they get a little older it is going to be so fun for him...he's not quite to the age where its fun yet since they just steal eachothers toys the whole time they're together

We also went to an awesome theme park "Worlds of Fun" we waited to go at night because it was soooo hot during the day, and we still thought we were going to get heat stroke at 10 pm when we were there but I wouldn't have minded getting heatstroke in exchange for going on all the sweet rollercoasters. They had a little snoopy land for Beck to play in and he was definitely a happy camper cause they had a monster truck ride which is one of his other favorite things

Sunday we BBQ'd at Trent and Lindsays house, after a week full of fun it was nice to just hang out together. It was such a blast to see and spend time with the Church family we wish we could do it more often!! Thanks Church family for such a fun time!!

And this last picture is of Beck and Quinn crashing at the hotel the night before we flew home. When we finally got home we pulled up and Beck said "where are we!?" I can't imagine he really forgot what home looked like but we were gone for so long that I'm sure he was totally confused. It was such a fun summer thanks so much to our families for everything!!
