Every year, except for last year, we do a football game somewhere! It's become an annual event with John and Kathy! Sometimes we fly. Sometimes we drive. We always watch else the Chiefs play or the Cowboys! Those are our favorite teams! Sometimes we go early fall or later. We always visit a new stadium. This year the best option was to go to the Chiefs game in Kansas City VS Cowboys!!!! Best of both teams!!!!
It is getting easier each year to leave the littles behind. Matthew is old enough to be on his own for a few days. Ashlyn only talked to me once while we were gone and did totally fine at Lenas. Austin talked to me every day and had tears once. He had fun at Aunt Lenas as well and did just fine too. Many thanks to Lena for hosting our children and making it a fun place to stay!!!!
We left first thing Friday morning. John and Kathy had already left for Kansas and we met them there.
I got this just in time for a good read on the flight!!!!
John and Kathy picked us up at the airport and we went for lunch at a beautiful place!!!! Christmas decor has begun and it's lovely!!!!
We drove past the capital building of Kansas. We also drank lots of coffee. Messenger Coffee is good!
BBQ is very popular in Kansas! This was at 3 PM and the line was outside the door, down the sidewalk and wrapped around the inside of the building. We waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes for our food and it was tasty! Wow! Good stuff right there!
We grabbed dessert at a popular ice cream shop in town and the butter pecan was so yummy!
There was a trolly car in town that served coffee and tea! It was the perfect place to warm up with a nice cup of Joe!!!!
Uncle John and Kathy are great traveling friends!!!! They scream, "Go Cowboys" while we cheer "Go Chiefs!!!"
We fueled up on game day with a hearty breakfast! The biscuits at Big Biscuits were soft and very good!
All ready for the game!!!!
First we walked around the outside of the stadium and took in the trailgaters and all the drums and events that happens before each football game. These are the many things that you never get to see on TV. People were ready to watch the Cowboys and the Chiefs.
When we walked inside, we found our seats and then toured the stadium. Mike was loving every minute of it!!! His dream came true to visit here!!!
And here's a moment that we will never forget!!!! Chiefs won the Super Bowl!!!!
Before each game, at every stadium, there are some players that take time to pray before game time. I always look for this and love to see it!!!!
They had the best, best nachos at this stadium!!!! Wow, they were so good!!!!
Fireworks, jets, God Bless America and The National Anthem, so many people cheering and screaming for their team ... it all happens at the game!
We spent our first night at Jim and Melody's home. They are friends of John and Kathy and now us! They were great hosts and Jim took us to North Star Steakhouse for steak! They met us at the game also! So fun! Melody is a school administrator and we got to tour her school. Mike loved this! Jim is a pastor and we got another tour of the church while we were there! These two impact so many people and love the Lord!!!
Everything went wild when the Chiefs won!!!! Way to go guys!!!!
Football champs!!!!!
And before we knew it, it was time to head back home. It's always so fun to go and so fun to be back with the family!
Thanks to all who helped us out with the littles and Ginger while we were gone! Bless you for this!!!
GO CHIEFS!!!!!
