Happy Birthday to Morgan!

Morgan was a bit younger in 1990.

 

No Consensus

Colin and his new friend were having a disagreement on what parts of the pantry should be on the felt board. They eventually both just walked off. No hard feelings.
 

Toys and Miniatures

Adam and I explored the Toy and Miniature Museum. He enjoyed the miniatures, using a magnifying glass to see the detail.

I think he liked the toys best. Below he is examining the He-Man collection. He was disappointed that there were no Legos.

Pumpkin Day

Selecting the pumpkins is always challenging.

Below the adults are waiting for the kids to emerge from the straw maze. And lastly we were rewarded with donuts.

 

From the Stars Down to Trains

Lowell and Vala enjoyed the Planetarium. Lowell's Halloween unicorn shirt glowed throughout the show. After, they climbed to the top of the Science City Luckey Climber, painted and constructed trains.

A Cute Couple

Happy Anniversary to Scott and Kathleen a few days late. Here they are looking quite young in 1982 seriously watching something.
 

Story Time Adventure

Colin and I joined in on story time at the Kansas City Central Library downtown and then went topside for a giant game of chess and the view. He was too short to see over the walls so we just enjoyed the chess.

To get there we had to take the bus instead of the streetcar because those cars are out of service while the old line is connected to the new one. Colin had to inspect the work but he was just as happy riding a big blue bus.

Imaginative

This Harris sign is clever but as a communications person I always ask is its message clear. Hopefully this one is.
 

It's So Cold

That would be the Popsicle not the weather. And he's so darn cute.
 

Exploring Agriculture

I joined Hayden and girls for the Kaw Valley Farm Tour, an event by
K-State Extension to introduce individuals of all ages to the many faces of agriculture in the Kaw Valley. We took this tractor wagon tour to visit cows up close.

We walked through a weed maze. It was supposed to be corn but nature intervened so they had to scramble to come up with another plan. It's hard to see but there was a path through the weeds.

And a cool train ride around the farm.

 

Let's Go Royals!

I was lamenting the lack of Royals decorations around and Cindy's neighbor came through
 

Not Exactly the Purpose

New device to keep Bruno from scratching where he shouldn't. He is choosing to use it for lounging instead of scratching.

 

We Can Do It Again!
