Grandma Becky and Bob's Visit

We love to get visitors and we were so lucky to get all of them at once. We had Becky and Bob come for a week in June and then my parents overlapped them one day and they were here for a few days. There are so many fun things to do and see in Kansas City that it was a lot of fun to take everyone to all the different places. Hopefully we can get many more people to come visit us in the future! Can't wait for you to come back!Here is the clan before Grandma Becky and Bob hit the road in the morning on their last day here. It is a 10 hour drive back to Fort Collins. Not too bad in the Summer but pretty ugly drive during the winter.
Grandma Becky wanted to see Shawn play some soccer, so she went to one of his practices, here he is kicking the heck out of the ball:)

Like Father, Like Son...

This is what Grandma Becky did most of the time instead of watching the soccer, playing with James and Mike in the trees and in the dirt. What are Grandma's for- right?

I love this shot of his big belly stickin' out

Cooling off in the little baby pool.

I took them to the Union Station downtown and there are so many things to do there. Bob had remembered being there when he was a young boy and he wanted to check it out and see how it had changed. There are not as many trains going through there as there used to be. Here is a big train track that they have set up all the time, it is neat to see all the little displays around the track. The boys like to point all the weird things out that they can find.

There is this fun Children's Museum place called Science City that we were able to get free tickets while we were there. We were so happy to get those. I had no idea what Science City was and it was a great way to find out. They had so many different things for the kids to do and a lot of fun things for the adults to do as well. This is one of the optical illusions room, the boys thought this was so cool!!


This is walking through a blood vessel of some sort, or maybe the stomach, I can't remember
exactly, but it was interesting. James did not like it much, it was dark and kind of scary for him.

At the end of walking around Union Station we stopped at the diner and had a bite to eat, it was a lot of fun, especially when we finally ordered something that they had not run out of. I think Mikey went through 3 things before he could actually get it. They kept coming back and telling us they were out of that item.
