Happy Birthday to Michael!

  As usual, I posted the pictures in reverse order of what I intended...Oh well.   The first picture is Michael helping to construct an arch at Science City, the next is Michael and the kids in a "newsroom", the next is them touching a display, and the others are from our dinner out.

Monday, July 16th, was Michael's 32nd birthday. He worked Sunday night and got home around 7 am Monday so he spent most of the daytime sleeping. After he got up, we all got ready and we went to eat a quick dinner at Culver's, a hamburger place just across the Missouri state line. It has become a favorite of ours over the last few months because they have these meals called Snak Packs which include a hamburger, crinkle fries and a drink for only $2.99. It seems to be just the right amount of food for us and the price is right! Since it was Michael's birthday and he loves ice cream more than cake, we got a 4 scoop dish of their wonderful frozen custard and Michael and the kids chose the topping...chunks of cookie dough! They gave us 5 spoons and we all shared. Next time we will know to only get 2 0r 3 scoops because 4 was more than enough after eating a meal. After that, we headed to downtown Kansas City to Union Station. Science City is inside of Union Station and we had never been there before. We decided to make this part of the birthday celebration because they were having a free family night. It was a little more crowded for that reason but the kids still had a blast. I would love to go back on a weekday when most other kids are in school and be able to experience it more fully without all the chaos!
