Kansas City outing for Kate & Doug

Kate and Doug
Kate and her Aunt Lynne

their tailgating view of Arrowhead Stadium

Kate had been hoping all week that her request to go with her Dad, Aunt Lynne, Uncle Jim and cousin Jack to a football game in Kansas City would be granted.....and on Thursday night - we told her that she could go and she was STOKED!!! I don't know if I have ever seen an almost 10 year old girl that excited for 6 hours in the car and a foot ball game. Of course, with Kate, she was excited about the football, but very excited also to just be with everyone (and of course the tailgating snacks (-;) They went to watch our cousin James (who plays for Northwest MO. State) /vs/ a big rival of theirs Pitt St....and conveniently enough, the game was being played in an NFL stadium -- how cool was that??? It was a beautiful day and it sounds like they had a great time, except for the fact that the bearcats got beat ~~ bummer!!

All in all...I do think that Kate is getting hooked on football road trips....she already loves going to watch all of her cousins play everything! That's our little "sporty spice" Miss Kate!!

playing catch with Jack - another highlight of her day!
