White Sox at Royals MLB!

We had a very spontaneous trip yesterday!  Saturday night about 5:00, Jason said "the Royals play at home tomorrow at 1:10. Let's go!"  I smiled and said "okay!"  Little did I realize he was very serious.  :)  We left at 6:40 a.m. - waking the boys up and not telling them what we were doing.  I picked out the blue outfits and we were off!

Sunrise!

 

The Chiefs stadium is right next door to the Royals. Pretty cool planning.

Great seats.  Row 6 and 7 - set of 3 and 2 - both on the aisle!

It was HOT!!! That was the only downfall to such great seats - we had zero shade until the 9th inning!  Reid did a pretty good job of behaving but he was getting restless toward the end. Grant and Kyle loved the whole event!

Jason caught a foul ball!!!

Before we left Stillwater, we talked about getting all of the gloves "for fun" and "in case."  As we left the truck, Jason asked if I wanted one, and I said "no, you can save me!" totally not thinking he'd actually get the chance to be my hero!  :)

Top of the 4th inning, there was a hit... and it was coming our way... then REALLY coming our way... RIGHT TO ME!  Jason casually stood up, and leaned over me (as I was surely crouched up by this point) and POP - caught it!  

It was fan-freaking-tastic. 

He had recorded the game on our DVR - we watched when we got home but it didn't show his amazing skills.  Darn.

this was said though:

We asked a friend where to eat and ended up at an "authentic" BBQ joint in KC.  We got there within five minutes of having a huge wait but ours wasn't too bad.  The food was great!

on the way home, Reid AND Kyle had bloody noses.  Always an adventure when traveling with kids!

It was bobble-head day at the ballpark so we now have three new "treasures" to adorn our bedroom countertops.

Such a long day, we caught the sunset on the drive home!

 Reid finally feel asleep on Highway 51 within ten minutes of our house.

We've now been to a Rangers, Cardinals and Royals game (I was able to visit Rockies in my teens).  We all voted the Cardinals have the best set up and fans of those three teams.  Rangers next and probably Royals as our least favorite atmosphere!  In case you cared... :)

We're ended our long weekend with a joint family cookout in a little bit!

Happy Labor day!
