Spring Break

 We headed to Kansas City for Spring Break this year.  It's a quick drive from Omaha and has so many family friendly activities.  Swimming in the hotel pool is always one of the top favorites on any of our vacations.  In fact, if you ask Dallin where he wants to go on vacation to, he would tell you to "a hotel."  Last year he thought we should move to a hotel.


 Luckily we decided to include the Science Museum on this trip because it turned out to be our favorite attraction.  It is arguably the best science museum we have been too.



 Tornado simulator with winds reaching almost 80 mph.  The family before us took a tiny 3 month old baby inside the simulator with them and we watched in horror as the baby suffered inside.  Once the simulator starts, you cannot get out until it stops.  It was traumatizing to watch and something we won't forget.  It's nice to remember experiences like this though on the days when I feel like a terrible parent.




 Downtown Kansas City - sadly the museum was closed on the day we tried to visit.

 This restaurant was a top recommended restaurant for families so we checked it out for lunch.  Your lunch is delivered to your table by a real train that runs along a track at the ceiling.

 Giant fudge at the a candy store!

 The Hallmark Kaleidoscope children's art museum was also a must-see on our list because of Dallin's love of art.  It was a great experience and the boys loved designing their own cards and puzzles to take home.
