Missouri Trip - Day #6

Missouri Trip

Day #6

17 March 2018

Joshua and Holly took Garvin and I... with all their children...

to the WWI Museum and Memorial

located in Kansas City, Missouri.

I will not be posting all the pictures I took in the Museum. But, I am posting the ones that might be of interest to the family.

There were MANY videos to watch...

Josh and Holly have taken their family to this

museum more than once...can't possible

take it all in...in one day...

 Timothy (on the floor - front), Seth, Matthew, Michael (on the floor)

Esther and Holly

 Impressed with the grandchildren...

They all seem quite interested in learning

HISTORY...

Garvin

I really didn't realize...the THREAT of

"Gas Attacks" during this particular war...

 Josh, Holly, Adam (back) and Michael in front

 Josh and Adam in an area where you can

do different activities...

Timothy is sitting and doing one of 

those hands-on activities.

 The reason I took these two pictures regarding

"submarine" warfare...is because...my grandfather,

Herbert Adolf Maruritz Peterson, Sr.

was on a ship...and was SUNK by one...

I will write up the story on his Family Search

page...in the future...

 Adam in conversation with his Dad...

Garvin now participating on one of those

hands-on activities...

I thought this was interesting...to have a

"First Edition" of "The Origin of Species" 

By "Means of Natural Selection" or

"The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

By: Charles Darwin

First published in 1859 

LATER IN THE DAY...

 Timothy relaxing with their pet...LIZARD...

"Rail Baron"

What would our trip...be...if we didn't have a bit

of a "friendly" competitive game...to play...

I want you to know, Josh, I was NOT

INTIMATED by your little friend there...

Though, Adam WON the game (took 2 days to complete)

I did come in SECOND...and that was

satisfying enough...that you 

came in BEHIND ME...smile

 He wasn't hungry, yet...(the snake) smile

Yeah...

To End this DELIGHTFUL DAY...

We had a "DOUBLE DATE"...smile

Joshua drove us to a Brazilian restaurant...

SO SO GOOD!
