On June 26, 2011 we set out on our first road trip to Kansas City. We left out house at 5:15am. The girls slept for a little while to start out. Here is Kenzie putting her baby to sleep in the car!
Hannah and her animals!
We drove to St. Louis, MO the first day, where we went to the Gateway Arch. Daddy, Kenzie & Hannah in the replica of the capsule you ride up the arch in.
Kenzie getting ready to go to the top of the arch!
Hannah ready to go too!

Looking out at the city & Busch Stadium!
The girls!
June 27, 2011- We went to The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum before we headed out of town to continue onto Kansas City! It was lots of fun!
They had an Alice in Wonderland theme going on!
Hannah climbed up here then was scared to come down the slide, she was stuck up there for at least 10 minutes until I could find Kenzie to go up and help her down!
At the water table!
The Magic House was lots of fun! A good way to tire the girls out before the drive to Kansas City!
Hannah wanted out really bad so in order to make it the rest of the way we bribed her with oreos!
Kenzie with her oreos! We finally made it to Ron's house around 6:00pm (local time)
June 28, 2011- Today we went to the Kansas City Zoo (since it was going to be the coolest day that we were there)
Ready to see some animals!
They had lots of cool animals to see! The tigers!
Kangaroos!
They had sheep out and you could feed them. Hannah was petting them!
This was taken after the girls were scared by the sheep! It was pretty funny how fast they jumped into Gary's arms!
They also had an area where you could ride a camel! Kenzie did it all by herself! I was really surprised that she did it! She said this was the best part of the trip!
On the carousel!
The elephants!
Hannah fell asleep as soon as we saw the elephants!
Kenzie just had to get this mask!! We also got a tiger mask for Hannah since she was sleeping!
June 29, 2011- We went to the mall today! The girls got to pick out a new doll from the American Girl Store, we also took a driving tour of Kansas City.
June 30, 2011- We went to see Cars 2 today! Hannah watched the first 10 minutes then fell asleep, she woke up about 10 minutes before it ended....when it was all over she said "I saw it" it was funny!
After the movie we went to Red Robin and had Hannah's "birthday lunch" so Uncle Ron could be a part of it.
We went to dinner at T-Rex, a dinosaur themed restaurant.
Our last day in Kansas City! Here are the girls with "Uncle Ronnie" (as they like to call him!)
July 1, 2011- We drove home through Iowa! We couldn't miss the chance to visit Grimes, Iowa on our way through! It is just outside of Des Moines.
We drove all day and spent the night in South Bend, IN.
July 2, 2011 Before we headed the rest of the way home we drove around and saw the Notre Dame Campus. Here is "Touchdown Jesus"
Notre Dame Stadium
The Main Building
After lunch we headed for home finally! We got home at about 4:30pm! We had a great trip, but it was sure nice to be home!!
