Fan Appreciation Night at the K 2010

Friday night we got to go to Fan Appreciation Night at Kauffman Stadium. We were so excited to be able to go for the second year in a row. It's a fun night at the Ballpark. This year we got to do a few things that we missed last year. We got to go in the Bullpen, the locker rooms, training rooms, the dugout, and walk on the field. It was neat to get such an up close look at the ballpark.
We got free food, free carousel rides, free games, and we love free so it was a great night.

Labor Day Weekend 2010

We had a fun Labor day weekend. We surprised the boys with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge on Friday after school. We have always wanted to go there and finally did it. I think Cody just thought we were going in to look around so when he realized we were staying the night he was really excited.




Jake was so so excited to sleep in a big boy bed. He kept all of us up until about 11:30 because he wouldn't stop giggling and goofing around in his bed. Silly boy.



At 8:00pm every night they have a story time in the Lobby. The big clock tower and animated animals tell a story and sing a little song. Then some belly dancers (male and female) came out and preformed......it was interesting to say the least. Cody asked if we could leave and if they hadn't been blocking the stair way we would have. We all got a good laugh out of it though. Sorry no pictures of that show, but trust me you wouldn't want to see them.



Saturday morning we went to their indoor water park. It was a blast. It is one of the best water parks for kids that i have ever seen. All of the slides just end in a trough of water, not a big pool, so it's great for non-swimmers or smaller kids. I was so proud of Cody, he went on every slide that he was tall enough to ride. He was very brave and loved every one of them. The picture below is of the big green bucket. It dumps water every 5 minutes. So if you don't want to get dumped on you better move when you hear the bell.



This is the red kiddie slide that we are pretty sure Jake set a record on. He went down this slide over and over and over and over, and so on......he loved it!!



One of the big slides me and Cody went down several times...



After the water park we went and played 18 holes on their mini golf course. It was really fun, Cody claims he won and Jake did great for a 2yr old.


On Sunday i convinced Robert to come to the Gym with me and my friend Jaci. We had told him about the rock wall that we had been climbing and he assured us that he would climb circles around us. It was really fun and i actually made it to the top two times ( i hadn't gone more than half way before). Robert realized that it was a bit harder than he thought but he still did great. He got to the top several times and once on the hard part of the wall.

On Monday we had big plans to go fishing but it was way too windy all day. We settled for having a picnic in the living room and just relaxing most of the day. We are trying to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. I am dreading the winter when the boys, especially Jake can't go outside, they are definitely outdoor boys.
