KC Time

We had not made it to a Royals Game this summer yet, so decided to have a treat in Sept. and headed to KC for the weekend! We headed to Topeka on Friday night and stayed with my good college friend Sarah. She and her friend Bret spoiled us rotten with yummy breakfast casserole, good laughs, and drinks. Sarah has a large basement for kids who need exercise-which was awesome, but after breakfast the next day my two pulled out all the stunts with Brynn licking Sarah's wall (who only knows!) and both kids wiping their washed, but wet hands down Sarah's glass front door--our cue to head out the door!
Our next stop was at the Legend's for shopping at the BIG Target and eating yummy tacos at a very slow Taco Bell--we did all of this while dodging rain--as much as we needed rain, I was a little bummed it rained on our weekend of fun, but we managed! My good friend from high school, Melissa and her husband Byron, and had baby boy this August, so we drove to their house to meet Blake. Melissa has a wonderful park close by their house--so we had great intentions of Caden and Brynn heading to the park to play so I could spoil Blake, but it was raining, so plan B--all of us spoil Blake and Caden and Brynn entertain themselves at Melissa's house by playing with the baby toys, driving their hotwheel cars, and picking and yelling at each other--another proud moment! They both were super sweet with Blake though and got to love on him! After an hour of fun with the Spencer's, we got back into the van to head to our hotel for naps!

Here is Blake Adam--every last inch--super cute!

Brynn or Caden took this picture of Melissa, Blake, and I--not bad, but could use a little zoom-in action!
After naps--we put on our Royals gear and headed to the shuttle that took us across the street to the Royals game--and good news--it stopped raining!
We met my family there and settled in to enjoy some baseball!

Brynn giving a cheese, and eating her cracker jacks with Grandma and Grandpa!
Layne got 5 seats right by the 1st base side and then he and Caden got tickets out in left field to try and catch a homerun ball--they got REALLY close, but no luck!

Brad and Lindsey--so awesome to have them right in KC! Lindsey and I came bundled up--after going to a Cubs game in May and freezing--we were taking NO chances at the Royals game, but it was just perfect!

The cool GREEN Royals hats they gave away that night--it was 1/2 way to St. Patty's day--so we were celebrating in style at the "K!"

One of my favorite Royals players--Billy Butler.

Our family all in our Royals gear and enjoying baseball.

A few dance moves.

Gotta have a hotdog when you go watch baseball!

My family at the Royals Game--this might be a yearly tradition--we had a wonderful time--and by next year--Brad and Lindsey will be all moved in and settled in their new house!
