Kansas City

Our small group from church (or most of us) went to Kansas City this weekend for a chance to get away and enjoy being together. (without kids!) We had SUCH a great time!!!

Saturday morning we left and headed to the Legends shopping center where we played at Dave and Busters, ate lunch, and did some shopping. It was a beautiful day for it.

Although we did play lots of video/arcade games, this picture of Shannon dancing was only one I took there! Isn't she doing FANTASTIC? :-) Her little baby boy is due in 2 months--she and Aaron are keeping our group tradition going--in the 3 years we've been together, we've ALWAYS had someone pregnant! (And in that 3 years, this group has 'birthed' 9 children! This little guy will make 10!)

The guys hung out for a while waiting while we went into some shops, but then decided that Cabela's was MUCH more fun.

That evening, we went to Buca diBepo's for a delicious supper.

Then on to a comedy club where we were basically the only ones there! But it was really funny, and Olivia and Aaron BOTH got to go up on stage to assist with the laughs.
We came back to our hotel. Several of the guys were pretty exhausted from our day...

So we got out MORE food to liven up the party. And a good game of "Battle of Sexes" always does the trick, too!

After sleeping in the next morning, we went to IHOP for brunch. Of course, I took pictures of the DELICIOUS food we all ate.

We did some more shopping on the way home (Kohl's and Lowe's for Joel and I...) and then finally arrived home in time to see our kids, spend time with my family, and see an INCREDIBLE thunderstorm!

Such a great weekend!!!
