A "Colorful" Girls' Trip to KC-DAY 1

Bryce and I headed to Kansas City for the Color Run this Sunday.  We left on Saturday after lunch and decided to stop in Lawrence to see my twin brother, Clint.  We had a smooth drive and made it to Lawrence in great time.  (It helps that the Turnpike is 75 mph now!)     First, we hit up the library to drop off some things for Clint, so Bryce and I checked out the Children's Area.  It was pretty cool.  There were colorful seating areas all over.  We stopped and looked at some books in a little nook by the windows.  (It had an A/C vent right by it! :))


 We walked around downtown awhile before finding a place to eat. Downtown Lawrence is full of all kinds of people and gives way to lots of people watching!  It's fun to see how many people my brother knows.
Then, we stopped and had hamburgers and fries at this really cool little place (I don't remember the name) and the walls were covered in dollar bills that were decorated.  Pretty neat!  After dinner, we walked around some more before we were drenched in sweat (It was 102 degrees!)!  We had planned to go swimming but by this time Bryce was turning into a monster due the heat and no nap.  We dropped Clint back off at his apartment and made plans to come up another day for swimming.  We got a couple pictures before we left.  (Bryce wasn't in a picture-taking mood!)
 Playing around with Uncle Clint

 Clint's dog, Zappa  Love her!

We left Clint's and Lawrence around 6:30 and headed towards Olathe to stay with my little brother, Matt.  Bryce was starting to wear down in the car, and this is what happened when we were 15 minutes away from his apartment! :)

The sleeping didn't last long and she was ready to play!  We decided to take Matt's dog, Kam to the dog park right by his apartment.  Kam needed to get out of the house!  Kam and Bryce played around and played catch with a tennis ball. 



Matt showed us how Kam loves to swim in the water. 
We played fetch in the water for awhile.
Kam loved it!



Of course Bryce saw the playground,so we played there before heading back to get ready for bed.



 Kam didn't want to miss out on the playground fun!


 Bryce decided to sneak in some mountain climbers and...

some dips!

Matt was a nice brother and let us sleep in his bed with some new sheets! :)  Bryce moved around
A LOT and slept ON me most of the night, so I didn't get much sleep. 
But it was a GREAT day and I loved spending time with BOTH of my brothers!

Stay tuned for DAY 2....
