Have pack, will hike

2016 Easter Egg Hunt Fun

The big Easter basket hit this year was "Flarp" noisemaking putty, which makes tooting noises when you push a finger into the cannister. As you might imagine, this elicits pure laughter from these three- every. Time. 

Just a typical Friday night with five boys

Final Day of Spring Break

Swimming took precedence, per the boys, over anything else while we still had hotel access. So I waited 4 painful hours before we checked out and I went down the street for a cup of decent coffee at oddly correct. After that, we hit Science City. Best decision, ever. It turned out to be free for us as members of the Des Moines Science Center, and the kids enjoyed it so much, that I think it was far better than LegoLand, no question.

Why, oh, why, don't they sell these at Target?

Lunch in Union Station at Harvey's, followed by a visit to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for a "ride home treat," and our vacay came to an end.

Spring Break Day #2

Started early with Legoland Discovery Center

Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium in Legos

Soccer stadium

Lunch at Fritz's Railroad Cafe was a request

And of course, there was a lot more swimming at the hotel pool, followed by dinner in the Westport district again. Dinner was good, but Westport was one giant street party for St. Patrick's Day-- we were officially the only people with kids. Anywhere. At all.
