She's also discovered snappers—those little bundles you throw on the ground to hear them snap. The following two videos are some of my favorites, because of how she says "really, really hard" when she prepares to throw a snapper.
Thankfully, the last week or so has been pretty rainy, which has really cooled off the air. The downer is that the holiday weekend was a wet one. Since the 4th was on a Sunday this year, we celebrated the whole extended weekend. On Saturday we went to a carnival in the morning. After discovering it was lame, we set off in search of another adventure. Using Alex's super handy phone, we looked up The Union Station in Kansas City and decided to go check it out. I recommend it to anyone visiting the Kansas City area. They have a Planetarium, Science City, train rides, and lots of DINOSAURS!!!
Sadie saw this "baby dinosaur" and fell in love. Alex and I just hung out on a bench while
Sadie sat and talked to her new friend. She's so funny.
There are several free exhibits at the station. The picture below was taken in an Irish room, which has a touch and feel table.
Sunday we relaxed, went to church, and had a pretty normal day. In the evening, despite the rain, I wanted to see the fireworks. Since Sadie was asleep in bed and Alex didn't care if he missed the fireworks, I grabbed a book and drove down to the show by myself. It was fun to read, watch some fireworks, and still get to bed at a decent hour.
On Monday, we had a BBQ with some friends and played a lot with Sadie. It's nice to have long and relaxing weekends now and again.
