Kansas City Trip

We traveled to Kansas City to visit Joe's family on the 31st and came back on the 5th. It was quite an adventure. First we had 4 inches of snow and it took us 2 hrs to get to the airport when it normally takes 1 hour. This caused us to miss our flight and we had to go on stand-by. We were supposed to get into KC at noon, but ended up making it there at 7 pm. The good news is that we saw my Dad and Laurel for about an hour in the Chicago airport as they were on their way back to Buffalo from Nebraska. We got a Nash Family photo taken at Portrait Innovations. It didn't go so well but we did get a few good pictures. Luke just decided to shut down at the end and collapsed against a teddy bear at the end.



We got to meet the newest addition to the Nash Family. Cousin Owen. He is 3 months old and very cute and looks just like his daddy. Graham enjoyed trying to play with him and talk to him but Luke wasn't too interested in his new cousin.




Graham enjoyed playing with anything with anything he could stick in his mouth, which mostly was Joe's old toys from his childhood!!










We went to a mall to allow Luke to get out of the house and play ad run around at the playground. It was between 5-9 degrees there everyday, very cold. Well Luke found the Carousel more interesting than the play area and he rode once on a horsey and a second time on a dolphin. Both times Graham was asleep.





The highlight of the trip was the T-rex cafe. A restaurant much like a Rainforest Cafe if anyone has been there. There are a lot of dinosaurs that do lots of Roaring and there is meteor shower every half hour where everyone roars and loud noises. Luke enjoyed his time and his blue icee, Graham slept thru it all and woke up in time to watch Luke make his Build a Dinosaur, Dumbo the Wolly Mammoth, (he named it not us). It was a good trip had by all.

We were glad to arrive back in PIttsburgh Tuesday night and have survived the first week back. Everyone is recovering from their illness they had on the trip-Graham had ear infections, Luke has a cough, and Joe got a terrible cold and soar throat. Unfortunately, Joe was so sick that he couldn't do a lot of things that he wanted like see his friends. The smiles in his pictures were only temporary for the picture, as his throat was so soar he could barely swallow anything. Megan stayed immune to everything!!
