Vacation to MO part 2

During the second half of our trip home we visited David's family in KC. We always have a great time with them and this visit was special since it will be our last to trip to the house David grew up in.  Charlotte loved playing with Miklos, but I don't think the love was returned. I was able to run several errands and take much needed naps. Charlotte didn't sleep while we were gone, so naps were a necessity. 

We found out before our trip the Cardinals would be in town to face the Royals. As fans of both teams we thought it would be fun to see them play. I have never been to game where they were playing each other so I really wanted to go. Tickets were expensive even for the bad seats and the prices didn't go down closer to game time. We took a chance and went to the stadium to find tickets. We were lucky to find seats on the 1st base line in foul territory. The game went into extra innings and for once we stayed for the entire game. Bonus: the CARDS WON!! It was the only win of the KC series, but I'll take it. 

A house divided

The next day we visited great-grandpa. David is fortunate that two of his grandparents are still living. 

Afterwards we headed to our friends the Chapins for dinner and fellowship. Here is the smallest Chapin, Darcie who just turned 1 a few weeks ago. 

KC boasts about their BBQ, so of course we had to have some. Jack Stack served up some tasty food and we all walked away satisfied. Next stop free doughnuts from DD.

That night we headed over to the Sebolts to hang out. The girls had a great time playing together and we had fun catching up with their parents. 

Saturday before we headed out, we stopped by for brunch at great-grandmas. We made this delicious biscuits and gravy recipe. It's one of my favorite Pinterest recipes I've tried. I highly recommend it. 

The ride back was pretty uneventful. Charlotte did ok on the first leg and slept on the second one. At this point we were all ready to be home. Before leaving the airport I had to stop and pick up Qdoba for dinner just because it would be the last time I would have access to it for awhile. A big shout out to our friends the Brumbacks for picking us up at the airport.
