A Visit from Family

Janice and John and kids were able to stop on their way to and from a family wedding.  We played at the park.
 
 
Visited the model trains at Union Station, then had our dinner delivered by train at Fritz's.
 
  
Of course we needed a photo by the Lego people!
 

Tour of Adam-ondi-Ahman and Far West

A couple of times per year the young sister missionaries get to spend a day touring the church historical sites of Adam-ondi-Ahman and Far West.  We were able to tag along recently. 
We drove through many closed gates.  Toby helped with the gates.
 
Her we are at the Far West monument.  That's the back of me with the dark red sweater.
 
It was a fun and long day.

A Few Other Things

We attended a full performance of "The Messiah" at the Stone Church.  The music and the church were fantastic!

 
 

We used our free Zoo pass one day that the Archives were closed.  
 

These birds were all over us when we offered bird seed.
 

The tv show Ninja Warrior was filmed at Union Station one week.  We monitored the set being built on our lunchtime walks.  Union station is next door to the Archives where we work.

 

Friends Visit

In March we had old friends from Sammamish come and stay with us for a few days.  We drove to Far West, the Amish village of Jamesport, and Adam-ondi-Ahman.

 

Another day we saw the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and had to go for barbecue at the famous Joe's KC.  The Z-man was yum! We 

 
  

We sure enjoyed their visit!
