Little Trip To Kansas

We went to Kansas to visit Mike's family for about a week and a half. We flew out on December 15th very early in the morning. Both kids did GREAT on the plane. Eliza slept on all flights and Ty did amazingly great.

We stayed with the Rush family and did a lot of hanging out, talking, playing with the kids, eating, and having fun.

One of the first days that we were there we went to the Discovery Kids Museum. The kids had a lot of fun. Tysons favorite was the car. Also there there was a store/kitchen, dentist office, grainery, painting, workshop, blacklight room and many other things. Tyson had SO much fun and Eliza just crawled around following the kids.

While we were in Kansas we ate out at this fun Mexican restaurant. It was near Tanner's Birthday so they sang to him and at this restaurant put whipped cream in their face.

While we were in Kansas we got to visit Santa. Tyson kept saying he wanted a bike for christmas and that is what he told Santa, even though he already has two. While there they had a few crafts for the kids to make which were ornaments for the tree and the girls even got a picture with Mrs. Clause. Tyson was a little nervous with Santa, so was Eliza but she didn't cry.

Also while in Kansas we took the kids to Bonkers. It was like ChuckeCcheese but better. They had this big play area that both kids and adults could go into and play and an arcade and an area to eat. We played hard and had pizza to eat.

Grandpa James also was able to come and visit while we were out there. Tyson had fun hanging out with him and Eliza was terrifed but warmed up to him when he bribed her with cookies. She will do anything for a cookie.

One night we had fun making gingerbread houses. It was fun and the first time I have ever done one. I think that it might become a Christmas tradition.

We had a Christmas party on December 23rd since we were leaving the next day. We had a big ham dinner, did a craft, read a story and did a gift exchange.
