Kansas City Here We Come!!!

We took a Girls Trip to Kansas City last weekend to visit Ashlynn's Fairy Godmother Jean and Prince Andy before baby Charlie makes his appearance in the next few weeks. It was a great time and lots of fun. But it sure was hot and humid.

Ashlynn and Jelly Bean were good friends before the weekend was over. Jelly Bean was a little hesitant at first and wasn't quite sure what to make of Ashlynn and all her jumping and running around. They bonded over the sprinkler which they both LOVED playing in.


Ashlynn was a real trooper and even though we all dragged her shopping we found some fountains for her to play in....which she just loved!
Fairy Godmother Jean promised a trip to Union Station for Ashlynn to see the Trains.The Frog Prince Andy gave Ashlynn a boost to check out the Train Models that were at the Station.
Ashlynn adores Andy and even convinced him to carry her Cow Purse. Which he did without any complaint!

After a very busy weekend we headed home...but on the way we wanted to stop so Ashlynn could get a look at the Mighty Mississippi. Our route just happened to take us into Hannibal, MO which is the home of Samuel Clemens (Aka Mark Twain). Sadly having 3 teachers around meant Ashlynn was dragged around town. We were very glad we stopped and just loved this little town on the River.

Ashlynn however did not share are excitement of the town....this is her being mad that we made the decision to walk around.

Her tune changed quickly when we happened upon a train just leaving town that Ashlynn was able to see up close.
