We decided to take a last minute trip to Kansas City. Our family "trips" have always been to Wyoming or Utah for Jer's family. So we decided to do something for ourselves. It was an awesome weekend! Kansas City is very nice and I was impressed with how much there is to do there but also the fact that you can get out of the city and it's still beautiful. They do not have a Disney Store here in Omaha (sad I know!) and the closest one happens to be in Kansas City, so we took Parks there. He was in heaven! He was soooo happy! We let him pick out 2 stuffed animals and he chose Woody and Nemo. He is into Toy Story right now so he was playing with all Buzz and Woody toys. I also found a really good Asian Market and that was the highlight of my trip! haha! I haven't found one with a lot of Japanese stuff here in Omaha, and could have stayed at that store forever. We went to a Royals game that night and Parker loved it! We had awesome seats right by 3rd base. We ate lots of "bad" food but you have to at a baseball game right?! The next morning, we went to Independence, Missouri to visit church sites. We then headed up to Liberty and saw the jail that Joseph Smith was in. That was a neat experience. They have the original key to the jail and built the visitor's center around the jail. I enjoy learning and seeing the history of our church and all the pioneers went through.
On Labor Day, I went shopping with my good friend to the outlet malls. I got some killer deals on kid clothes. I bought the baby's "coming home" outfit. It is so dang cute! Hopefully, the baby will be born in October like it's supposed to be b/c it is a Halloween outfit! And I bought Parker some cold weather clothes since he doesn't have any. Then we went out to eat at Cracker Barrel! One of my favorite restaurants. I love southern food! That night we went to a friend's house and had a barbeque. It was a lot of fun! So many of our good friends I will miss when we leave Omaha.
