Our weekend with the kids was spent in Kansas City – we left Saturday morning and came back Sunday night, but we had a lot planned.
\nOur first stop was Kansas City Zoo which was awesome.
\nUnser Wochenende mit den Kids haben wir in Kansas City verbracht. Wir sind Samstag fr\u00fch losgefahren und Sonntagabend zur\u00fcck, aber wir hatten viel vor. Erster Halt: Zoo und der war wirklich klasse.<\/strong>

\nSo it is not very easy to spot them, but in the next picture, there is a bunch of red kangaroos laying under that tree behind the kids. They were unrestrained which was really cool. But apparently it was too hot to move ^^.
\nSie sind nicht leicht zu sehen, aber im n\u00e4chsten Bild liegt eine ganze Gruppe roter K\u00e4ngurus unter dem Baum im Hintergrund. Die liefen frei herum, was ziemlich cool war. Nur war es wohl leider zu warm, um sich zu bewegen ^^.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAlthough everybody was pretty pooped after the zoo (which was really big and therefore there was a lot of walking required, plus we had one of those days with 90% humidity), the hotel pool (inside and out) made the kids perk up again immediately and we spent a good hour and a half there – both of them had to show off their newly acquired swimming skills and obviously there was a lot of jumping, splashing and tossing (of kids) :).
\nAuch wenn wir alle nach dem Zoo ziemlich fertig waren (der wirklich gro\u00df war= viel Lauferei und es hatte 90% Luftfeuchtigkeit an dem Tag), waren die Kids beim Gedanken an den Hotelpool (innen und au\u00dfen) gleich wieder fit und wir haben bestimmt nochmal 1,5 Stunden dort verbracht – beide mussten schlie\u00dflich ihre neu erlernten Schwimmk\u00fcnste demonstrieren und dann gab es viel zu Spritzen, Springen und Kinder zu werfen :).<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday we went to Kansas City’s Legoland which is indoors and was lots of fun. We had to drag Owen out at the end, lol. They had lots of things to do – to build, of course – but also a 4D-movie and a play area for kids, a miniature room with Kansas City landmarks and much more.
\nAm Sonntag waren wir im Kansas City Legoland (was nichts mit den europ\u00e4ischen Parks gemein hat, dieses ist drinnen und kein Vergn\u00fcgungspark). Wir mussten Owen buchst\u00e4blich herausschleifen am Ende, lol. Es hab ohne Ende Besch\u00e4ftigung in dem Ding – man konnte nat\u00fcrlich \u00fcberall was bauen – aber sie haben auch ein 4D-Kino, eine Art Spielplatz und einen Miniaturen-Raum mit Nachbauten bekannter Geb\u00e4ude in Kansas City.<\/strong>

\nThere were a few mild rides in there, like one where you drove around and had to shoot targets (for points) and this one (see pics below) where you sat in a little two-seater and had to pedal to go up in the air. They also had a laser maze which was pretty fun.
\nEs gab ein paar Attraktionen, die „fuhren“, so z.B. ein Viersitzer der durch ein paar R\u00e4ume fuhr in denen man auf Ziele schie\u00dfen musste (f\u00fcr Punkte), eine Art Karusell mit Zweisitzern, in dem man ordentlich treten musste (siehe Fotos unten) um sich nach oben zu bewegen und ein Labyrinth mit Lasern, das war ziemlich cool.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThere was a whole room in which you could build all kinds of vehicles that slide or roll and several race tracks to test them on. Needless to say we built quite a few and tested extensively.
\nThey also had a wall that you could build individual tiles for – had to do that of course :).
\nEs gab eine „Auto-Bau-Station“ – genau genommen war es alles, was rutscht oder rollt und wir haben diverse Modelle gebaut und die Rennstrecken heruntergejagt.<\/strong>
\nAu\u00dferdem gab es eine Wand, f\u00fcr die man eigene kleine Tafeln best\u00fccken konnte – haben wir uns nat\u00fcrlich nicht entgehen lassen :):<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nOwen’s is a house and table with food on it, plus the sun is coming out overhead. Adam made a three-dimensional one with clouds, sun and a tree, mine is a palm tree on an island and Alyssa’s is an A in Broncos colors.
\nOwens Bild ist ein Haus mit Tisch und Essen auf demselben sowie der Sonne oberdr\u00fcber. Adams is dreidimensional mit Baum, Wolken und Sonne, meines ist eine Palme auf einer Insel und Alyssas ein A in Denver Broncos Farben.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAfter that we went to the Sea life aquarium next door which was sized just right and done really well. Both kids (and I) liked it a lot – especially all the tunnels and such.
\nDanach ging es ins benachbarte Aquarium (Sea Life), was genau die richtige Gr\u00f6\u00dfe hatte und wirklich klasse gemacht war. Beide Kinder (und ich) waren echt angetan – vor allem von dem Tunneln und co.<\/strong>

\nThat was all we had time for this summer with all four of us, but we all had a great time!
\nDas war alles, wof\u00fcr wir in diesem Sommer zu viert wirklich Zeit hatten, aber es war super und hat uns allen viel Spa\u00df gemacht!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
