KCMO - Top 10 Cities for Young Adults

July 29th, 2010

WAIT!  What’s this?!

Kansas City, MO - Top 10 Cities for young adults!  Haha!

It may not have the big-city buzz of a Chicago or Houston, but KCMO is on its way up. The “Paris of the Plains” is in the midst of a $9 billion downtown development project, which will create a swath of new condos, apartments, offices, bars and restaurants- many of them targeted to young professionals. Unemployment and cost of living are low here as well, and job prospects are promising. Six Fortune 1000 companies call Kansas City home.

Treasures, Mantou, Summit Waves

July 29th, 2010

We’ve recently been spending a lot of time lately going through and cleaning out old boxes that we never got to since moving in.  After all these months, we are just really starting to get unpacked!  However, even with all the cleaning and organizing going on, a table like this is suspicious…it’s too empty!  Here’s why…

Bekah and Noah were playing “hidden treasures’, and they were apparently hiding all the treasures they found…in his bed!  You can imagine how ‘delighted’ we were to find this, in the middle of our organizing efforts.

What’s this?!  Mantou and Chinese Soy Milk!  888 International carries the goods to make this happen!…a little Chinese breakfast in the middle of the midwest.  And yes, that is peanut butter and jam, that’s the way we do it!

Summit Waves.  Just $4 a person for Lee’s Summit residents.  Kids water playground, a diving/lap pool, a lazy river, and a couple of huge slides.  Here’s Noah on the red slide…he must have gone on the kids red and blue slide more than 20 times.

The lifeguards actually had to speak to him a couple of times…because he kept wanting to slide down backwards!  Each time, he just nodded and gave them blank stares.  I don’t think he had a clue what they were asking him.  Here he is again, backwards and on his stomach.

Kay and Juli took off to do big kid stuff…so I have no pictures of them.  Here’s Bekah giving her try on the red slide.

Naomi too!

There were sections of water falling, shooting, splashing everywhere…almost like being inside a car wash!

Even Sarah got in on the splashing action.

Look at how happy this little girl is!

Samuel and Jesse controlling the water spray.

Floating around the lazy river.  It’s actually not so lazy for adults, 3 feet…too shallow to swim in, too deep to walk in.

Good times!  Only 2.5 weeks left before school starts…gotta make the best of it!
