The kids had their weekend all planned out. The wanted to BBQ, have a Spiderman cake, see Spiderman 2, and go to Lego Discovery. That's an action packed weekend, but we were set to do it all. A big thanks to an awesome co-worker, who was sweet enough to fill in for me in my Sunday school classes. Without her, I would have missed spending the day with my family. I'm so thankful to her!
We started off by going to see Spiderman. We had I Max tickets and it was well worth it. The special effects were great, and the boys loved the movie. From there, we raced over to pick up the cake from Baskin Robbins. I had expected some friends to come over, so we were in a bit of a hurry. Unfortunately, the friends cancelled while we were driving to get the cake.
Now that we no longer had to stick to a schedule, we stopped off and had a burger, then proceeded to get the cake. It looked awesome!
Of course, after we finished the cake, we realized that the Spiderman head lit up. Oops. Too bad we didn't notice sooner. Oh well.
We had such a nice time prepping the food. We made carne asada and burgers. It was very good, and the kids liked it. And the weather was picture perfect!
We had presents for the kids. They wanted action figures, so we loaded them up on those. They also received money, Nik received a Roku player, and Noah received a Spiderman fathead. We always let them open presents on their actual birthday, so that explains the different clothes in the pictures.
Following the BBQ, we let them blow out the candles on the cake.
The next day, we headed to Discovery Legoland. We bought them annual passes as part of their birthday presents.
Did you know that Kansas City is known as the City of fountains?
This birthday cake greeted our kids. Actually, it was to celebrate Lego Discovery, but we'll pretend it's for my kids.
Trolls!
The kids love to check out the mini lands. There is a pretty good Wizard of Oz display.
Check out the tail on that last guard. It's the cowardly lion!
It's never too early for Halloween!
This is the door to the restroom. I couldn't resist taking a picture of it. Weird, I know. 
They love their sports here in KC.
And leave it to my engineer to want to build something.
They were building racing cars.
And now for the their favorite part. The new Star Wars area! Did you know that Nik's birthday is also Star Wars Day? It is! May the fourth be with you.
After that, we were ready for lunch. We headed over to one of our favorite places to eat, Fritz's Railroad Cafe. Oh look! Another fountain!
If you aren't familiar, food is delivered by trains, on tracks around the ceiling. Then they are lowered to your table by platform. The trains kept stalling on the tracks that day, so we were nervous food would fall on our heads. Fortunately, it didn't.
What an awesome weekend! We really did have the best time. Happy Birthday to two of the greatest kids in the world!
