Kansas City & Cousins

Just returned from a few fun-filled days with the other Shankle's in KC. We stayed downtown near Union Station where Science City is located. Really neat area! The kids got to go to Science City, eat at the Crayola Cafe, visit Kaleidescope (sponsered by Hallmark - free craft activities - super cool!), and Eli even got to get his Egyptian "fix" when we visited a nearby museum that had a visiting Egyptian exhibit. Good times! Thanks for inviting us Shawn & Kim!
Madison riding the bike across the tight rope at Science City. Newton's Laws in effect! Though Noah, Grant and myself all gave it a try...Madison was the brave one, she made it all the way across and back! I have to admit...it was a bit scary even though it is not possible to fall, the mind plays tricks on you! :)

The boys - electrified - at Science City


In the planetarium at Science City getting ready to watch the movie - a bit more educational than we hoped...but still fun!


Eli in heaven with the "critters" in Science City


A serious game of checkers between Noah and Grant in Science City

I love this picture! Make me believe it, Shankle's! ;)


We stopped for ice cream at Sheridan's after Science City...here are the boys with their GINORMOUS straws!


Scoping out Science City for our next day's adventure!


The boys at Kaleidescope at the mall in downtown KC making sunglasses!
