Fun Day in KC

One of our traditions is to have "Damian week" - now "Damian and Angel week" the week before school starts. We like to just fill every day with fun activities and give each kid some special attention before they start school. We knew we weren't going to be able to do a full week due to our vacation, and Frank had a race the weekend before school starts, but we had hoped to have a few special days with the kids anyway. Well, now that our plans had changed a little, we decided to find something fun to do in KC while we were there. We went to Crown Center where we ate lunch at Fritz's - a train restaurant, did crafts at Kaleidoscope and went to the Crayola store. We met up with some friends for dinner, which was so nice. Everyone in both families get along great. We really miss them. The kids were SOOO excited to see each other. :) It was great. We miss you guys!!! Don't worry, we're planning another visit soon.

Since we brought the cousins home with us, (and Frank went to TX to race), we weren't able to do a lot of the other fun stuff the kids wanted to do for their special week, but we did go to the zoo Saturday. It was the annual ice cream safari. We had fun! We told the kids we'd get to all the fun activities on their list, but it may be on the weekends or after school.
