Kansas City Day 1

Vacation Day 1.....
This year we to Kansas City Mo. for our vacation.  Really it was a vacation built around the 844 steam train that was going across Missouri.  We left on May 29th after sacrament meeting.  We got to our camp site at Watkins Mill State park and set up camp and just relaxed for the rest of the day.  Then the first full day we were there we went to Kansas City's Union Station to see the 844 on display.  The engine had a some repairs that were needed so my train lovers got to watch them work on the train.

After seeing the train on display we went to Independence to see the church history sites.  We were able to go through the visitor center and see the temple site and explain some of the history to the kids.  I was amazed that even though they were hot and tired anytime we went to a church history site they did really well.
