A While Back

We took the treekids to the Kansas City Royals baseball game. They enjoyed the kids' area, the food, the lights, the fountains, watching for the cotton candy man, the drinks, and Bump enjoyed the baseball game. "Ball" was the fourth word he has. (First: Dada, Second: Mama, Third: WOW!) Bump love love loves BALLs of all shapes and sizes, but I think that baseball is his favorite. He was wide awake and loving all of the action.

This ginormous ball was right up his alley!

And those two crazy brothers sure had fun messin' around together!

There were a lot of fun things to do up in the kids' area. We opted for the free playground and this giant ball. The other activities included a carousel, a mini ball field, a mini-golf course and a few others. BUT, it was at least $2 per kid per activity. Sheeesh. Hi-way robbery I say! We'd already paid an arm and half a leg to get into the game! But, Blossom was wanting a ride on the carousel and my fervent NO was not received too well and she would NOT look at the camera.

While I was choosing & editing pictures for this post, Blossom was watching and told me that I should just cut her out of the picture since she knew that it was a pouty self. I think that several years from now, she will have the opportunity to look back and remember that mom carries a camera all the time and I even record that fusses. That is what having a photo does in a journal! It makes you see reality at times, no? So, we will forever remember the fussing over the carousel!! They did get a HUGE bag of cotton candy, several soda pops, the picks of stadium eats, etc... This kids were not neglected! And eventually we found faces that were ALL smiles. (sort of!)

Translation: WOW!

Fun times at Kauffman Stadium! More about the game later... we are headed to the pool today. It is HOT and MUGGY here outside of Manhattan, KS. I have to hurry this morning and get the trailer ready to tow, so we can play at the pool a while before we leave when Pops is done working! Tonight we will head to Nebraska for a wedding and family reunion.
