Topeka

Jim went to a conference in Topeka, KS last weekend and since Laura was out of school and its relatively close to our family, the kids and I tagged along and our parents and Jim's and aunt and uncle came up to meet us.

We mostly went to nerdy places. 


For example, the State Capitol.


Dome


Cage Elevator...


House of Representatives and Senate were empty that day


a suave 4 year old


a cool library stair case



We also stopped by the Brown vs. Board of Education museum. It was held in an old school and very well done. 


We had a small early bday part for Adam at the hotel


He liked this part!


Laura lucked out too













Sleepy boy


See what I mean?


That blur is Adam jumping in the pool. I wouldn't say he's water safe, but he's much braver than he was last time we were in the water.


And she is still a water bug.


And a shark, apparently


Taking it easy


And the next day, we went to the Kansas History Museum

They had a great playground and beautiful trails








Laura Ingalls?
