Jamesport & Children's Museum

We went to Amish country in Jamesport, MO for the Holiday Festival. Unfortunately the Holiday Festival (as they call it) is just a big overpriced craft fair and no Amish are involved. To make matters worse Mapquest took us to the wrong redneck town and our 1 hour drive turned into two. But on the plus side, we got really cheap Amish spices (like 1/2 cup of cream of tarter for $1) the kids had their faces painted, saw Santa Claus, and Scott found his dream bedroom furniture set made by the Amish and only $4,500!

For playgroup this week we went to the KC Children's Museum. Cute place in the middle of a huge abandoned mall with a police station at the other end of the mall. Not exactly a place we would want to be alone or in the dark but we felt pretty safe with 10 little kids to protect us. There is also a preschool there and I don't even want to know what kind of parents would send their kids there.
