Tanner's Baptism Video

This is the video that I'll play while we're all waiting for Tanner and Ben to get dressed and dried off after the big plunge!

The city museum

I just love this picture.  Shucks... I'm such a lucky gal to have a guy who loves me ;)

This is in the under the sea room

Roller Slide:  super fun, but a bit of a bumpy ride

The whole gang at the museum!  SUCH GREAT PEOPLE ;)

sumo dude... you're NO match!

I think this was my favorite thing... a skate park without the wheels!  ingenious... lol

k... I'm like 2 stories up here.. at least

Aren't they sooo cute!! I LOVE these guys!  hmmm.. I can't remember who stuck their finger in the picture... Ben or Wendell... oh well I'll just have to yell at both! lol

I just love this pic!  So... we can start and end with it *grin*

A bit late in the posting of this... but none the less enjoyable!

Right before we moved from MO Ben and I did something completely unheard of.

we went on a DATE!

Amber,  Craig and Unc. Wendell came along too.  The big outing was to go experience the city museum.  This place is UNBELIEVABLE!

Some guy just put this place together with recycled things he found all over the city.  Just think of a children's playland for grown ups.

you can see all of their pictures here, worth a peek

The City Museum

So here's the highlights:

We first went to Crown Candy.... this total hole in the wall (seriously in the middle of the projects, a little scary) but totally worth it!  It has a 50's diner kinda flair.  The food was amazing.  On the Dahle's recommendation I got the BLT.  This puppy had about 3 inches of crispified bacon deliciousness!  sigh....

After some yummy ice cream treats we were off to the city museum.  I don't even know where to start.

There was a great magician entertainer guy 

4 story slides to zip down

wire tubes that you climb through that are like 100 ft in the air

a ball pit with kick ball size balls

jungle gym type mazes to climb through

an entire area that looks like underground caves (seriously you can get lost!)

a room of street skating half pipes and such (SO FUN)

sooo many artifacts from old buildings 

and under-the-sea area with aquariums

vintage gaming stuff

an old vault and mirror room

and I'm sure I'm forgetting like half the stuff.

Anyone on their way to the midwest really has to go here.  My only regret is that we didn't go till our last week in town.  I would have loved to bring the kids back during the day.  

SO FUN!
