Tonight we went for dinner in Kansas City with Curt's 2 aunts and 2 uncles. Actually, during the day we hit the Worlds of Fun amusement park in KC, Missouri which was a blast. Terence and Mia were tall enough to go on most of the rollercoasters so we hit all but 2! There was also tons for Ali to ride on. It was a perfect day as the temperature was in the 80s (versus 100s as it has been) and it wasn't too crowded. There is nothing worse than waiting most of the day in lines!
After the amusement park we went for dinner at a Japanese Steakhouse near Sally and Mike's home. Our kids love these steakhouses as they love the fire and watching the guys cook in front of us. The food was delicious and we all rolled out of there after far too much too eat. As always T started with sushi.
The waitress was amazed that he loved sashimi (the raw fish with NO rice) and how quickly he ate it. He only shared a very little with his sisters. In the photo above right is Aunt Karen, Uncle Mike and Uncle Jim. Uncle Mike's seeing eye-dog, Blossom, is under his legs. She liked it there as there was lots of shrimp that had been dropped (ie see below videos).
Our chef was fab! He asked if the kids liked SpongeBob and when they all shouted, 'Yes!', he created a SpongeBob out of the fried rice!
At the end, he challenged all of us to catch some shrimp in our mouths. T actually managed to catch 3 in a row - our tables top record. My favorite is Aunt Sally whose shrimp ended up... well, watch the video... ;-)
