Happy Birthday to Drew!

We spent Drew's 3rd birthday (that's right, he's 3!) in Kansas City at the Great Wolf Lodge www.greatwolflodge.com/Locations/Kansas/. We had such a great time, we're already planning our next trip back.
We took the Amtrak there, and it was a great idea, at least on the way down there with the bad weather we were having. When we were supposed to return on Sunday, however, the train had shut down because of the ice storm. Luckily, we had rented a car, and were able to drive that back to St. Louis.
Wolf Lodge has a huge indoor waterpark, and the kids had a great time. Drew even went down all of the big waterslides. He liked everyone but the yellow one because it a part where it was really dark for quite some time. "Yellow, bad." One of the slides starts and ends inside, but most of it is outside the building. Pretty neat (but not cold, the water keeps it warm), considering the snow and ice we had that weekend. Blake enjoyed getting dumped on by the big bucket, but I think Uncle Don may have enjoyed it more.

We also visited the T-Rex Cafe to have a birthday celebration. www.trexcafe.com
We built dinosaurs (think Build-A-Bear except it was dinosaurs) and also enjoyed the dinosaur show. Uncle Don and Aunt Beth joined us as well as great uncle Ric and Chris.

All in all, it was a great weekend despite the weather! Saturday was a particular busy day, and the kids were out cold in their Wolf Den in less than 5 minutes.
