Royals vs. Cardinals

Jonathan and his good friend Dustin have a bet going every year about who will win more games – the KC Royals (Jonathan’s favorite) or the St. Louis Cardinals (Dustin’s favorite.) If you know anything about baseball, I’m sure you can figure out who usually wins that one! This year we planned a trip to Kansas City to watch them play, and Jonathan’s parents joined us there. Despite the heat, we had a great time.

We got to Kansas City on Friday and spent some time with Jonathan’s grandparents. Then we met Dustin and Lindsey at Minsky’s for pizza. On Saturday we headed to the game early to tailgate. The craziest thing happened while we were there – first, my cousin Amanda and Uncle Bruce came out of nowhere to say hi. Then about 30 minutes later, Jonathan’s cousins Kevin and Colleen showed up as well. We couldn’t believe out of that huge parking lot that we saw our family members. What a crazy afternoon! The game was fun, even though the Royals lost, but it was terribly hot. We spent a lot of time walking around to try to cool off. That evening we headed to the Power and Light District with Dustin and Lindsey for dinner. Afterwards Jonathan’s cousins met us out, and we had a good time exploring the area. All in all it was a great weekend! Oh, and just so you know…the Royals won the other two games in the series, so Jonathan was a happy camper.
