Kansas City

This past weekend John and Anabelle and I traveled to Kansas City to see Marena and Adam. We left Thursday after John got out of work and drove the 8.5 hours straight through. We originally intended to stop half way and stay at a hotel, but Anabelle was being pretty good and John had some extra energy so we kept on driving. Marena and Adam were nice enough to let us in when we arrived at 1:30 in the morning. We all crawled into bed, exhausted!

The next morning we woke up and spent some time hanging out with our great friends. They have a beautiful yard, that Anabelle loved running around in.




Wherever Anabelle went, the doggies Stella and Jasper weren't far behind.


Rock climbing, toddler style.


Friday evening we went to a baseball game. The Cubs were in town playing the Royals, so of course we had to go cheer them on. Anabelle like the game, but especially liked sitting on Aunt Marena's lap. Poor Marena, she's such a good sport, 6 months pregnant and having a toddler climb all over her. She is the best!



The boys had a great time catching up.



Unfortunately Anabelle decided to clap only for the Royals, clearly she doesn't know that her Daddy is a die hard Cubs fan.


The boys did a lot of this while at the game.


Anabelle had a great time!


Love this picture, our only one of all of us from the weekend, too bad Anabelle decided to be pouty-oh well!



I kinda dropped the ball on taking pictures the rest of the weekend, I guess I was busy having too much fun! Saturday we got to meet up with some other Kansas City friends who just had a new baby girl. So fun to see them! Saturday night we had a great dinner out and then went to a jazz festival. It was a fun kid friendly activity.

Sunday morning came way too early, and before we knew we were packing up the car and heading home. Luckily I am going to see Marena again in August, so that made the "good-byes" a little easier. We had such a great time on our visit and as always, love our time spent with Adam and Marena. Lots of laughing and catching up and fun times!

We loved having you guys visit. Anabelle is at the perfect age ... so interactive and fun. I am in love with that little one (and she even loved me all the way up to the end until I took the rocks away from her). Guess you'll have to bring her back in August so I can win back her love. Miss you guys!
