The boys and I took a mini-vaca over spring break to KC to stay with Rachel, Kevin, Max, and Kendall. This was the VERY first time (that I can remember anyways) that we have gone for really no reason other than just to get out of the house for a few days...in other words, we didn't go for a Children's Mercy appointment of Owen's. The highlight of the stay was taking the kids to Disney on Ice at the Sprint Center. Gavin and I were a little apprehensive about me taking Dex to a "sit down and hold still for 2 hours" type of activity. Boy, were we surprised. He LOVED that show; he was engaged the entire time, which is nothing short of a miracle coming from that kid. Here are some pictures of the week:

Who would give a 1 year old an over-sized, sugar-candy coated, messy marshmallow you ask?
Aunt Rachel, that's who...without permission I might add. |

| The finale |
The trip ended with a visit to Paradise Park. Wow, what a place for small children. Ball pit, cooking classes, water play, face painting, playgrounds, arcade...you name it. And even though Dex threw an absolute, full-out temper tantrum after we left every separate part of the park, I think the kids had a good time.

| Is it just me, or is Dex sporting a side pony? |

| I took one for the team and crawled my wide load into the kids ball pit (aka germ fest) so Owen could partake; he kept grabbing the balls and putting them in his mouth. DISGUSTING. |

What a great (and exhausting) trip!
