Memorial Day Celebration in KC

I took the kids to Kansas City for the day, and we had a ton of fun!  Kansas City has a huge fireworks display for Memorial Day at Union Station every year.  We went one year when Evie was little and thought it was great.  So after our two-hour drive, I immediately took the kids to the park in our old neighborhood to burn off some energy.  Then we drove over to Crown Center and walked around.  They had a Thomas the Train exhibit that the kids really enjoyed.  We got some food, and walked across the street to eat outside in the plaza.  After spotting a Hawaiian Ice truck, Evie & Henry HAD to have snow cones.  I ordered an ice cream sandwich, and after a few minutes, Henry decided that we needed to trade, haha.  We walked over to Union Station to check out the kids activities, wandered around the station where Henry lost his balloon (and cried forever), and ended up walking around the Westin Hotel.  At this point, we were just burning time until the fireworks display to start at 9 pm.  The kids were getting tired, but we stuck it out.  The fireworks were great!  And the kids passed out as soon as we hopped in the car to head home.  It was a super long day, and the kids were challenging at times, but it was really special and worth every minute.
