I love that my sister and her family have moved closer to us and that they don't mind our cruddy old futon and air mattress on the floor! It is also great that Kansas City has started to get more attractive tourist activities that give reason for them to come to town!
This weekend, Cousin Emily and Aunt Tracy came to town for the Diana exhibit at Union Station. The recent Royal wedding has peaked Emily's interest in all things princess! I have to admit, I got a little caught up in the fanfare, too!
We also went to Celebration at the Station - the KC Symphony concert and fireworks over the Liberty Memorial. It was quite a late night, I think the latest that our kids have ever stayed up, ever. Steven was so determined that he didn't even fall asleep during the car ride home. He even had to have a snack at 11pm before he went to sleep. His sister on the other hand conked out before we even pulled out of our parking spot and she got to sleep in her clothes!
On Monday we took the kids to see the Union Pacific steam engine No. 844. It was really big but not as fancy as I expected. Still, it was impressive to see a machine like that and we even got to meet the conductor!
