Kansas City Trip

When BYU released its football schedule the closest game to us was BYU vs. Missouri in Kansas City. Luckily, my brother lives there so it made it easy to book the tickets for a trip.It was just a quick  trip Friday-Sunday but we fit a lot in there since my parents joined us as well. My Dad loves BBQ and has this goal to try all the different places in Kansas City. So we headed to Jack Stacks for dinner the first night. On Saturday we did an early Thanksgiving. My Mom made all our family recipes for Thanksgiving and we stuffed ourselves before the football game. We dropped Ellie off with a babysitter for the first time and then headed to the game. The game was played in Arrowhead Stadium so it was HUGE. It was so much fun cheering for BYU even though the outcome was not what we wanted. It was a hard fought game that was fun to watch. The best part was when the team ran out they came right for our section and all the players were freaking out. My whole family was cheering so loud and it just made me laugh to think how much sports plays a role in my family but I wouldn't change it for anything! Go Cougars!!

 We headed to the fireside and it was PACKED! Andrew was the only one who had been to a fireside so it was a fun new thing for the rest of us.

 The boys were trying to make their potato peeling job go faster. It didn't work!

 Don't worry that is Martinelli's in our cups and yes President Monson is photobombing our picture.

 They "upgraded" my parents rental car to this gigantic van.
