Creative Mermaids

Today is already Thursday, so I wanted to write about the rest of our Kansas City trip while it was still fresh in my mind.

Saturday morning we went to Kaleidoscope. Hallmark donates all their leftover materials to this fun place of creativity. Everything about it is free. The girls loved it. They painted picture frames, made puzzles, and created random treasures that could be used as jewelry.



I drew both mermaids, but they did the hair, faces, and belly buttons. And I don't want you to miss the poor mermaid with the cast on her arm.



After that we went to a free exhibit in Crown Center titled, "Under the Sea". This was nothing but a giant room to play in. It had tunnels to crawl through, sunken ships to explore, underwater creatures to climb, and most importantly, a mermaid's bedroom. The kids could have played there all day.





We finished the day by swimming at our hotel.


Our own little mermaids.




Sunday we had lunch with one of Will's college friends and then traveled to Topeka to meet the baby of one of my high school friends. We enjoyed spending time with everyone!

I am concluding with some random pictures that didn't make it into the stories, just because I like them. Hope you do to!
