Mother's Day in Kansas City
Okay Moms, if you’re like me you still plan Mother’s Day. My children aren’t old enough to contribute to the brainstorm, and planning isn’t my husband’s cup of tea. A few years ago, we celebrated Mother’s Day at the Zoo with free Ice Cream and admission for moms. Last year, we celebrated at a Royals Game (unfortunately, they’re not in town this year). This year, Worlds of Fun is beckoning!
Across the Metro, our local attractions are rolling out the red carpet for moms and you’re invited. If you’re looking for great ways to celebrate with Mom, look no further! We, at www.kcparent.com, have the answers:
