Here is one of our trips to the Kansas City Zoo. We have made several trips to the zoo over the years, usually getting one annual trip in, with an occasional missed year. Here is one of the earlier trips, captured in pictures. It is always interesting to see how both the kids and the … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #73: The Zoo

A Blast of the Past #72: Nathan’s Birthday
This birthday in 2005 was one of the simplest yet fun parties. The cake as a rainbow cake that I stole the design from the worm cake we had seen at another kid's party. And the balloons were the easiest thing for everyone to have fun with. I think we may have used balloons a … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #72: Nathan’s Birthday
A Blast of the Past #71: Tievoli Hills
Summer of 2005 also included a trip to the Tievoli Hills camping resort outside of Hannibal, MO. We had a lot of fun with all the stuff at the resort, and also took an enjoyable day touring Hannibal as well.
A Blast of the Past #70: Oceans of Fun
Here are some pictures from Oceans of Fun in 2005. It seems such a long time ago since we had kids young enough to play in the kiddie pools. This was further summer adventure with Grandma while she visited from Upstate New York.

This is the second year we have been season dining plan participants. I think in these past two years the quality of our park experience … Continue reading Worlds of Fun Recap
Blast of the Past #68: Peanuts Playhouse
We have been denizens (season passholders) of Worlds of Fun since 2001. In looking back at the pictures, we can remember when Peanuts Playhouse was first built. It was one of the new attractions they put in since we started going. Yet that is at least 11 years ago. It was also in the days … Continue reading Blast of the Past #68: Peanuts Playhouse
A Blast of the Past #67: Furniture and Corn Stalks
We also moved in some "heirloom" furniture, inherited back then. Furniture that is still continuing to give us good service today. It is a little more weighted down with use than it was when fresh moved in, though. There are also pictures of the corn (planting seen in previous post) coming up in the yard. … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #67: Furniture and Corn Stalks
A Blast of the Past #66: Proctor Birthday Party
Next we see Nathan invited to the Birthday party of Matthew Proctor, at a nature center here in the Northlands. They had a lot of fun outside, and then the usual party with cake, but the cake was a worm cake. See pictures below. I used the same idea of the worm cake and … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #66: Proctor Birthday Party
