Today is our last full day in Missouri. Sad. It's amazing how quickly a week can fly when traveling. MM and I took my young cousins to Kansas City for the day. We were suppose to explore the new aquarium at Crown Center, but tickets sold out for the entire weekend, including today. After our initial disappointment wore off we headed to the plaza. We wanted to take the kids to a Japanese steakhouse for lunch. Pope and MM's cousin Sarah and her husband Johnny met us for lunch too. While driving to the plaza we passed The Nelson (art museum) and the kids freaked out of the huge shuttlecock sculptures in the yard. Turns out they have never been to the Nelson- suddenly we had new fun day plans! So after our delicious and ultra-filling lunch, we checked out the museum for couple hours and then grabbed fancy cupcakes for a treat before heading back to the farm.
Grams made us a delicious goodbye dinner. We requested Swiss steak and she added all the fixings [apple salad, cheesy potatoes, papa's corn, hot rolls] as well. The Rabers came to dinner, and it was really nice to catch up with them. The Rabers are my grandparents best friends and I have known them for years and years. Mr. Raber is retired Army who also served with the 173rd and loves talking military with MM.
Once dinner was eaten, the dishes cleared, and the guests gone we enjoyed the last bit of daylight swinging on the deck.
