Kansas City

Thursday we drove up to Kansas City to see the Yankees play and it was the kids first time to a see major league game. I'm sure that they will remember it for years to come! =) It was nice to get away for a couple of days but this definitely won't go down in family history as one of our best vacations. To start the trip off, we got to Conway (about 30 minutes from our house) and realized that we had left the tickets and had to turn around. Then, the weather wasn't cooperative and it was in the 40s, rainy and windy- not the ideal baseball weather. We only made it 3 innings through the game before the kids had had enough. But, we quickly became very pleased with our decision to go on and leave the game. As soon as we got in the van, the hardest rain fell that I think I've ever seen so we were thrilled to already be in the car and not stuck in the stadium with the already fussy kiddos.


I tried to buy some more "happy" time for Ruby by getting her some cotton candy. As you can see, she wasn't into it.
On Friday we had a good time at the indoor pool at our hotel, did a little bit of shopping and then went to lunch at the Crayola Cafe. It wasn't as cool as the KC tourist website made it out to be but Ruby enjoyed getting to color. I did like going to the huge Crayola store next door. We got some window markers and some paint for our easel. I had hoped to get one of those large plastic crayon cases with a handle like Rex and I both had but sadly found out that they stopped making those about 6 years ago. .........We'll definitely be waiting another 2 or 3 years before we take the kids to another Yankees game.
