Happy Birthday Old Man!

Today is no his "REAL" birthday, just the day we celebrated with him.

What does a man who is turning 42 like to do  for his birthday?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Build a large box with his son, hide his son in the box.....

 Take a nice walk along the river near the historic district,

 Have hugs, birthday song,

 Blow out a giant candle (that's usually used to rid his apartment of odor)

 Eat some fruit crisp with vanilla ice cream,

 open a present from Mom & ED (Cookies and cookie butter)

Open a present from the Workman's (Philadelphia root beer)

 Open presents from the kids ( hand painted plates -so no more paper plates)

Watch a movie and eat some jiffy pop with a DR. Pepper!

That's a great Birthday celebration!

"Were not in PHX anymore Seth-o"

 

Seth and I discover Kansas:

 

 This was in Platte City, where we hope to live. We visited Seth's to-be high school which was a great school and has an advance program for STEM / engineering. Seth decided Kansas wouldn't be a bad move after all!

 There doesn't seem to be a huge competition between grocery stores. We really only saw one or two names in stores. This was at "price choppers" the most common store. this large circles are from their logo.

 Seth was forced to take a picture with them.

We attended the Irish festival in KC, and saw a U2 tribute band

 Seth was tortured with the "OLD" music and Mom and Dad singing along.

 

 

 

 

 He did enjoy the rides and fun food at the festival!

Why shouldn't the fountains be green all the time, not just for the Irish fest?

 These are "Irish Nachos" its home made potato chips with shepherds pie filling and sour cream and jalapenos on top.

Crown Center is a mall for kids, so fun! Chocolate factory to watch candy being made, a children's live theater, toy stores, little girls nail salon, Lego discover and giant shop, aquarium, Crayola café and so much more!

 Seth got a chocolate Lego man! Yum!

Labor day in Leavenworth brings a car show called:

 Greasearama-the west's first punk car show

 

 

 Fritz's is a train memorabilia restaurant. There are trains running through the restaurant, and above the tables. You order via phone and then the train carries your tray to your table and drops it on another tray which lowers and serves you.

 We saw an exhibit of artifacts from a true sunken pirate ship with real treasure! It was cool, but no pictures allowed.

 Next trip we plan on seeing the space exhibit!
