Lions & Tigers & Bears...Oh my!

Apparently it is the 75th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz...who knew? Kansas City has had some cute events going on for kids to celebrate, so this past Saturday we decided to go check it out and it was adorable! Crown Center had created a little exhibit built especially for small kids to take their own journey down the yellow brick road.

Addison then got to meet Dorothy, Tin Man, Lion, & Scarecrow...too bad Glinda wasn't there - Addison's favorite...of course, because of the "sparkly dress". (On a side note, I'm not quite sure what the Scarecrow's gesture is all about...it's interesting.)

After our trip through the Emerald City we went to Fritz's Railroad Restaurant for lunch. It's a pretty awesome place where you order your lunch by phone and then your food is delivered by an overhead train!

Visiting New York! :-)

After being in Kansas for only 4 short weeks, we were able to take a trip back to Long Island! Our close friend is getting married in April and her bachelorette party was March 1, so all 4 of us decided to head back to visit for a bit! We had lots of fun while we were in New York...including Addison & Avery's first trip the the Barnum a Bailey Circus! Addison LOVED the elephants!

Overall, the girls did well on the plane ride to and from New York...thank goodness for our portable DVD player (thank you, Nana!) and cheerios! However, when we landed we saw this sign at the airport and knew immediately we weren't in NY anymore!
