Whenever anyone comes to our house our days are usually filled with projects and going to the park with the kids. I ws determined to do something new and fun where we would actually have to change out of our P.J's. My friend Anna had just gone on a day trip to Topeka and said it was awesome so I did some research and decided we would go to the Topeka Zoo. We loaded up and made the hour long drive out. As soon as we hit Topkea's city limits the heavens opened up and it POURED rain. Literally. We checked the forecast and determined that we most likely wouldn't be going to the Zoo after all. So we drove and hour to go to Chick Fil A.
Mom and I visited while the kids played in the play place for almost 2 hours. By then the kids were pretty over the play place so we decided to head back home. I was pretty bummed. In my mind today was going to be awesome and I was just disapointed. On our way out of the city we decided just to do a drive by, the sun was out and a drive by wouldn't hurt.
As soon as we pulled into the parking lot we saw the train. We just had to go for a ride.
The kids were pretty stoked! And the creepy conductor was totally hitting on Mom!
So fun!
It was pretty wet and we got dirty but that was half of the fun!
Then we jumped in the car and drove around the corner to the carousel.
Duke wasn't interested in riding it the first time, so E got to use his ticket to ride it twice. As we were leaving Duke decided he wanted a turn after all. The tenant was very sweet and let everyone ride for free!
Then we walked across the street to look at the pond.
We got to see this crane catch a fish! It was intense!
Right beside the pond was a big rose garden.
By this point it was getting pretty warm, and the kids were done. It wasn't the day we planned but it was SO much fun!! Thanks for bearing with me Mom! I love our adventures! We are looking forward to going back to Topeka!
