Last Weekend of Summer

Last weekend might have been my favorite weekend of the whole summer. Okay, maybe Omaha was better, but this was a close second.  We just spent the weekend in KC doing some of our favorite things.  (Sorry the pictures are not very good- or missing entirely for some things we did.)

We went to the art museum to see Monet's Water Lilies on Friday afternoon.  Hannah was not impressed.  Her favorite thing was a horse sculpture.  She also likes the building itself and all of the stairs and ramps.

We went to my favorite restaurant (Buca di Beppo) for dinner, and when we were leaving there was a live band outside.  It got us in the dancing mood, so we went home and had a dance party in the family room.  

Car outside the restaurant:

My friend Brooke was in town from Milwaukee, so we met her Saturday morning in Leawood Park.  Hannah did some of her favorite things: riding her trike and throwing rocks in the creek.  After naps we went back to the same park to swim.  We'd never been to that pool before so it was fun to play on new stuff.  To top off our day we had cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes.

Sunday Steve went on a bike ride (one of his favorite things), and we took the girls to the City Market for the first time.  We got the best blueberries ever and Hannah got to eat honey right out of the comb (and wear a bee keepers hat).

So that is pretty much my idea of a perfect weekend- museum, pasta, dancing, park, swimming, chocolate shakes, and market.  And of course doing it all with my wonderful family.  Have I mentioned how much I love having two daughters?  I do.  They are the best. And Steve is pretty great, too.  :)
