On our walk to the Streetcar, we passed the fountains at Crown Center. Until a few years ago, you were able to play in these fountains. I have a photo of Karsten splashing in the fountains when he was probably almost two. The fountains are still impressive, even if we can't go into them and play.
Turns out lots of people thought this weekend would be perfect for a ride on the Streetcar, so it was quite packed. We lucked into seats, and were able to see out and enjoy the view.
See that red button near Karsten? He desperately wanted to push it to tell the train conductor where we wanted to get off. He had to wait through many stops before he could push it at the River Market. I think most everyone on the train got off as well, but that detail doesn't matter, he still got to push the button and let them know. :)
It's a great view of downtown KC. I love seeing the Western Auto sign sneak into the upper left corner of the photo - I really like that sign!
After getting a few tomatoes, some peaches and kale at the farmer's market, we stopped for lunch at a great Middle Eastern place, then went back to catch the Streetcar back to our car. We had to wait for a bit for the Streetcar to arrive, then we packed into it with a ton of other people. I'm glad we checked out the Streetcar, I just hope next time we ride it, it isn't so full! I'm thankful our everyday transportation is in our own cars where we control the arrival/departure times and who is riding with us. :)
The boys wanted to try on my hat on the way home - they look pretty cute don't they!
Karsten's request for the day was a trip to the pool. When we got there, it was nice and sunny. About 20 minutes later, there were storm clouds rolling in and thunder to the west. Unfortunately, that cut our trip a bit shorter than we had hoped.
Scott and the boys went to the pool several times a week this summer, and it's really boost the boys confidence level in the pool. Karsten is now jumping in regularly without us closely spotting him.
