We got a good start to our day. Everyone slept in a little bit later (and by later, I mean about 30 minutes...but I'll take what I can get.) and we were all nice and warm. We got everyone loaded in the van and headed back downtown Kansas City, Mo. Today we were on our way to Kaleidoscope. It is a free family-friendly art experience. All of the extra/left-over things from Hallmark that they don't need for cards gets sent to Kaleidoscope. It's here that kids are encouraged to be creative with all sorts of different supplies at their fingertips. You get your tickets and once you are allowed in during your time slot, you get 40 minutes to let your imagination run wild. The kids had such a good time here and the 40 minutes went by so fast. We were told that since it was a Saturday which is typically slower, we could just get back in line and if they had tickets available for the next time slot, we could just come back in. We immediately got back in line! The next 40 minutes went just as fast and if it wasn't for the fact that it was past lunch and everyone was getting hungry, we would have gotten back in line and stayed for another time slot after that. I couldn't believe that this place was free. We walked out of there with all sorts of things.
We grabbed some lunch and headed straight to Science City. It was located in the old depot and it was kind of fun to see what that looked like. Once in Science City, we got to get our hands on all sorts of fun things. We got to build with blocks...
Play and learn about the power of water...
And excavate for dinosaurs...
It was a fun place, however I think the weekend was starting to catch up with all of us as we started dragging as the afternoon came and went. It was so quiet in here too, so we had a lot of the place to ourselves. The kids learned a ton and overall it was really successful.
We headed back to the house for some much needed showers and r&r. We sat around that evening reading books and just chillin'.
