My dad came and stayed with us for a night. He's a pilot and he rearranged his schedule to have a lay-over in Kansas City. We were so excited to have him come and to be our first visitor! Lucy could not wait to see him! When I brought my dad home from the airport, it was 10:30pm and Lucy came running out of her room. She couldn't sleep knowing that Papa was coming! We let her stay up for a little bit and play. The next morning, we went to IHOP. We all got some eggs, bacon, and delicious blueberry pancakes. Todd snacked on a slice of lemon and toast and Lucy had a happy face pancake.
(Lucy likes to wear pink hats at 11pm at night) :)

After breakfast we went to Penguin Park. At the park, there is a giant kangaroo, elephant, giraffe, and of course a giant penguin. Lucy ran around like she owned the place, excited to show Papa all of the fun things.

We then tried flying a kite. It wasn't as windy as it usually is, but we gave it a shot. We got the kite to stay up for a little bit, but not too long. Lucy LOVED it! This was her first time flying a kite. We'll try it again another day when there is a little more wind.
After the park, we took my dad downtown and showed him where Alex goes to school and then we went to the zoo (no surprise there) for about an hour before we had to take him back to the airport. We were bummed that he was only here for a total of about 15 hours, but we are hoping that he'll be able to get more trips on his schedule that would have him come through Kansas City often!
Loved hearing you and Alex in the video, felt like you were close again!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to have family visit isn't it! Helps with the dry spells of seeing no family for sure!
Pictures are as gorgeous as ever! You have a way of capturing life!
Dan and I cracked up at that video of Todd falling off the balance beam! That was awesome...since he didn't get hurt, that is! That playground looked great!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am SO jealous of that farmer's market from a few posts back! What fun that must've been!
I'm excited to see your new blog, too! :)
Seriously, your little family is the cutest thing in the world. Every picture I was like, "could they be any cuter?!" You guys are adorable. And I love all of your pictures. My favorite are flying the kite and I love the one where Lucy is on the spinning thing and the background is blurred. So dang cute. Print it out and frame it for sure!
