Kansas City . . . AND . . . a Royals WIN

Today Tyler and Grant had check-up (follow-up) appointments in Kansas City. The Bad News - first appointment at 8:15 a.m. So, dilemma, what do we do --- make it an overnight family trip OR get up at 4 a.m. and leave by 4:45 a.m. Anyone who knows me and how much I dislike mornings - option two was NOT looking very good to me.

Good News - Chris arranged his schedule so we could go a day early and what do you know . . . the Royals were at home playing the White Sox (Uncle Brian's favorite team). Good News - we contacted Brian and Cori on Monday and were able to throw together a quick overnight to Kansas City and the Royals vs. White Sox game. The plan was to leave at 11 a.m. Wednesday so we could get to the hotel early to swim. Bad News - Chris' "arranged" schedule was "rearranged" and he DID NOT have someone to work for him so we weren't sure if he'd be able to go with us. He contacted someone else and so we waited . . . and waited . . . and waited . . . and finally at 12:45 he said, "Just go without me. You can't wait any longer." We were slowly (and sadly) loading the van when - Good News - he showed me his text that said he didn't have to go to work until 11 p.m. on Thursday! YEAH - get your things and let's go! We were able to have a great

Good News - the check-ups went very well - nothing to worry about now and no surgeries scheduled! YEAH - that's what Tyler was MOST excited about it. After the appointments, the boys swam some more, then we finished out Kansas City and the Power and Light District with lunch at Chefburger! Yummy! Good News - safely home by mid-afternoon!!!
