surprise....

this weekend i flew home to surprise my dad for his birthday....and it was a total surprise. my mom and i totally pulled it off. shelly came home with me and i showed her how kc really is....and it is not a flat wheat field. sorry to all those who think that, you are misinformed. we flew in thursday and went to zarda...BY FAR the best barbecue...or at least my favorite. their ribs are to die for. seriously. friday mom and dad had to work so we went to liberty and independence to see the church history sites and then went to a royals game (aka Shelly's first MLB game ever) with rk. i wanted to go to a red sox vs royals game the night before, but it didn't work out so we ended up watching them lose to the twins. rk gets a military discount so we got pretty good seats for way cheap.
saturday was packed...we went with sophie to strut with your mutt. she had a blast, and sadly i have no pictures. it was darling though...hundreds of dogs and some of them in cute clothes. sophie refused to wear the clothes she has, she prefers just to sport her bling in her collar. after strut with your mutt, we went shopping up to the Legends and spent way too much money as usual. oh well. i got the cutest sweater from banana republic and it was a steal of a deal, among some other cute things, too. i also bought some grey boots that i was dying to get. saturday night we went to the Plaza art festival. the plaza is one of my favorite places in kansas city, and thank goodness for my wallet/budget we went at night so all the stores were closed. the art festival was awesome, i'm sad i haven't gone in previous years. monday we went to farwest and adam-ondi-ahman with dad. it was cold and windy outside but still beautiful and a fun day. overall, it was a fun trip home. i love the midwest, especially kansas city. and i can't believe it but i'll be home in less than two months for thanksgiving!
i forgot to mention panera. i ♥ panera. don't worry, we ate there 3 times.

i just realized i don't have any pictures of mom, dad, or sophie from this trip. i'll have to be better about that over the holidays.

  1. Fun trip! I bet your family was so excited to see ya. That is fun you went to a baseball game. That is the bad part about Utah, no professional sports except b-ball.
