Kansas City

It was a fun Labor Day in Kansas City. As I told you before we headed over to the Legends shopping area so we could eat at T-Rex.



If you don't know what T-Rex is, it's a restaurant a lot like Rain Forest Cafe. Lots of moving dinos and lots of fun.

But we had a problem when we first arrived. It seemed that my son was scared of the dinosaurs. He wouldn't look at them and didn't want to let go of me or Crystal. So we headed into the store to the Build-a-dino shop. If you don't know what that is, it's the same as Build-a-bear. So the kids really had fun doing that.



So on to lunch. After carrying my son around trying to get him to stop crying we met the man who takes care of all the robots in the restaurant. He stopped and talked with Caden to let him know that everything was ok and the dinosaurs weren't going to hurt him. They weren't real. We even got to touch them to make sure!



One of the cool things in the place was that every 30 minutes they had a "meteor shower" in the restaurant. The lights would dim and the dinosaurs would make more noise than usual. It was pretty neat to see.



One last thing that I have to mention about the place. The dessert. We had what is called the "Chocolate Extinction" and it was incredible. We had six people eating it and we couldn't finish it. It has four pieces of brownie cake, four things of ice cream and whip cream plus chocolate and candy bar pieces all over it. But the cool thing is the glass of dry ice in the middle. It came out on this huge platter smoking all over the place. People from tables near us came for a better view. Here is a picture of it already eaten.



Wow, what a good time. After we ate all the food we spent time walking around and shopping. I even bought some cool Chucks. But that's an entirely different story.
