The Fourth of July Holiday was a busy one for us. We started the weekend with a family trip to see Toy Story 3 on Saturday. This was followed by lunch at Indgredients alfresco and cupcakes. We are pretty excited that the cupcakery trend sweeping the nation has finally hit Leawood.
On Sunday, we checked out Village Fest in the morning followed by the neighborhood party that afternoon. The the kids kicked off the party with the annual parade followed by games and jumping in the bouncy house. As if that wasn't enough to make the two of them really tired, we stayed up for fireworks. Unfortunately, they were cancelled last minute because of the rain.
Monday we hit the road for Omaha and spent the night with Grandma Faye and Ron. Grandma treated us to a trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo on Tuesday. At the zoo, we rode the train, took a spin on the carousel, flew over the park on the Skyfari and checked out as many animals as two very hot and tired kids could handle. Andy's favorite was the aquarium with the shark tunnel. It's hard to say with Sammy, she got excited for all of the animals. It was a very quiet ride home this afternoon with two sleeping kids in the back seat.
