ShannonAlbert.com - June 2009

On Saturday, we headed over to Dan and Katrina's house (except Dan wasn't there) to spend most of the day with them. The kids played Wii for a while and then we headed to the Crown Center area that we visit quite often except this time, I wanted to make sure we went to Union Station which is within walking distance of Crown Center but we'd never been.

We started with lunch at Fritz's Railroad Restaurant where we've been a few times. It was fun as usual and we were so hungry that we ate our food up very quickly.

After lunch, we walked to Union Station using the tunnels that connect the buildings. After walking around Union Station for a bit, we got tickets to Science City (located inside Union Station) and headed there.














We really loved Science City and are generally big fans of children's museums since they are so interactive and fun. I wish I had taken more pics of Union Station outside of Science City because it's so beautiful. I'll get the pics on our next visit.

We headed back toward Crown Center where were parked, stopping in the Westin Crown Center hotel to throw coins in the waterfall.




Compare that photo of the 4 of them w/this one taken in June 2005.


One last stop by the candy store where Joey got a lollipop the size of his head. His face color matched the lollipop by the time we got home.



After grabbing some dinner on the way back to Tonganoxie, we stopped by Andy's mom's house so the boys could get their hair trimmed. Payton and Blake went out to snip some flowers to take with us.



After all of that, we were exhausted and headed back to my parents house to wind down and headed to bed early. Although I love doing stuff and staying busy, it's been pretty exhausting lately so the trip to Mexico will be nice where we won't be running around and wearing ourselves out everyday. Can't wait!
