On our way home from the doctor (where John got his 4 shots for kindergarten), we stopped at McDonald's. I decided since he was so brave and didn't even cry that he deserved a treat. Planned on just getting him a ice cream cone, but he convinced me to get him a chicken nuggets happy meal. Alyssa stayed home with Dad since he was off from work.(So don't say anything to Alyssa - she would cry!!! She doesn't like being "left out" - if John gets something she thinks she should as well.) John was so cute though - he wanted to bring Alyssa back something - I told him the ice cream would probably melt. So he gave her this squirrel thing he got from his happy meal - she thought it was from the doctor's visit. (I certainly didn't want to hear a crying fit from her.)

We went to the nature center in the morning for a storytime about reptiles. The kids got to see a milk snake up close. Then we went to the neighborhood pool of one of the mom's in the Mom's group. Although we put sunscreen on, both kids ended up with red cheeks and noses.

The family all enjoyed the afternoon at a Royals game. The girls stayed afterwards to run the bases and see a MercyMe concert.

A trip out to see the T-Rex cafe - kids got to dig in the sand. We shared a treat at Coldstone's for lunch since Mom didn't want to pay for lunch at the T-Rex cafe. John showing off what he won at the T-Rex cafe by kicking a soccer ball into a basket after his second try. Alyssa missed both her kicks and was suprised that she didn't get anything even being a kid! "I thought all kids would get one."
Running in the sprinkler after getting home.

Took the kids to the park on Monday morning for playgroup around 9:30. It was hot but with all the trees, we had plenty of shade. We didn't leave until almost 1pm!




John was invited to a birthday party of one of his preschool classmates. John made several baskets and Alyssa enjoyed the rock climbing wall.
