We're Off To See The Wizard...

It's been fun living in a place made famous by a movie! (This is actually the second place we've lived that has that claim to fame-- the first being Lehi, UT where "Footloose" was filmed--hello, six degrees of Kevin Bacon!?)

This year KC is celebrating 70 years of the Wizard of Oz!! On Saturday, we went to the Crowne Center for one of their free exhibits with the J-Family 5 for a little taste of Oz! It was pretty cool with all sorts of interactive stuff like controlling the wizard, and turning on the tornado. They had a big display of old memorabilia too, which apparently I didn't get any pictures of.

We saw Dorothy and Glinda:

We followed the yellow brick road:

Later we all came to our apartment, got two sitters, and the adults went our for some Spin Neopolitan Pizza and window shopping. I think a tornado hit our apartment while we were gone! We declared it a disaster area, and are still recovering from the losses. haha.
Other than that, it was a really fun day!

Looks like lots of fun! I wish we had more places like that out here. I think a tour of the old Roller Mills would be pretty boring for the kids!

What cute little munchkins. Looks like you had a super fun day, especially the part of getting a sitter and going out with friends.

BJ and I want to take the kids to see that exibit. I think in a few weeks they are going to have "live characters". We thought we'd go see it on that Sat. and then have a bite to eat at the "train resaurant"--can't think of it's name at the moment but you know.

How fun! I would love to go see that. I tired to get Clark to watch the WoOz...but after the munchkins were done with their part he would have nothing to do with it.
