Friday I was off work, as K didn't have BTB, so Cora went to daycare for the morning, and Ryan did a little work as well. K and I got some groceries, and all packed up... and early afternoon, we all got on the road.
On the way to KC, we stopped in St. Joe to see Aunt Maagie. We haven't seen her since Thanksgiving, so it was definitely time. And we had a great little visit. It was a nice little break from being in the car, and just enough time to visit with her. She's doing well. We got back on the road about 5:00 and grabbed food as we got closer to KC.
We got checked into the hotel, and of course, swimming was the first thing the kids wanted to do. The hotel we were at was BUSY - probably full for the entire weekend, so there was lots of kiddos at the pool. We made the most of it, and had fun, despite my nerves regarding my kids (or Cora) in a pool! ha.
Saturday morning we got up and headed to Legoland Discovery. It was really close to our hotel, so it was perfect. And was a ton of fun for the kids... and us. We spent about 2 hours there, then grabbed lunch and walked around for just a little bit in a nice 'shopping' area. It was a warm day, and Cora was already complaining about the walking!
Saturday afternoon we had her take a rest, which was much needed... and just had some quiet time. And then around 4:00 we headed out to the Royal's game. We weren't sure how long it would take us to get there, so we left early, plenty of time... which was ok. Rather be early than late! We walked around the stadium a little, found our seats, and just waited. Soon enough the game started... the weather was warm, with a little breeze, but we were luckily in the shade!! So thankful for that. The game was a loss, which was a huge bummer. Overall, the kids did well. Cora got a tad annoying about the 4th inning - asking for my phone, etc. I distracted her enough until about the 6th inning... we did plenty of food and even colored. But she did fine - for being only (almost) 5.
We got back to our hotel at a decent time - just after 9:15 (Ryan and I both thought it would be much later)... got our tired and crabby kids in bed...
A restless night for me... just didn't sleep well at all, and I don't think Cora did as well. So this morning we were up and at 'em. Had breakfast, and headed out. Today is also Papa Mike's birthday, so we made a stop in Creston for lunch to see him/them, and then got home around 3:30 this afternoon.
We did have a good time... it was nice to just go and do something just us. However, traveling is exhausting, for me, and for the kids. They lose their patience, and being to whine quickly. I wish there was a way to get around that... and I felt like we took our time at things/never rushing things, and had plenty of down time... and we still had whiny kiddos! ha. Must be just us!
