Henry comes to visit!

Since Cooper's friend Henry, who lives in Arkansas, couldn't come up for Cooper's birthday, he came up one recent weekend to hang out.  Coop and I met them at a Kansas City hotel and stayed the night (so we could swim in the pool!).

 

The boys watched a show together on the ipad:

At breakfast the next morning:

We stopped at Union Station, but the train exhibit was closed:

We went to the KC aquarium:

And to see the new Lego movie.  And to LEGOLAND.  The boys each picked out a Lego Star Wars toy to buy in the gift shop.

After all of that, the boys still wanted to hang out, so we brought Henry back to our house for a sleepover:

20 minutes later:

Just kidding.  It was more like two hours later, and only after I separated the boys in different rooms so they could fall asleep.

Somewhere around 5am:

The next morning, Coop started on his Lego project with Henry's assistance:

After Henry left, Coop spent another couple of hours at the kitchen table:

Finished:

And Henry finished his Star Wars ship when he got back to his house in Arkansas:
