Happy #30 Kale!

When I got back from Texas, we loaded up again. This time for a while. We would hit St. Louis, Kansas, Colorado Springs, Glenwood Springs, back to Kansas and Home.

First Stop was for Kale's Birthday. He turned 30 this year! I got to have a good laugh because now I'm not thirty something alone. 

Kale wanted to celebrate his birthday this year in St. Louis at the Cardinals game BECAUSE the Royals were playing. He went as a Royals fan and the kids and I went as a Cardinals fan. 

We got our butts kicked of course.

A little photo recap of our adventure in St. Louis.


Our infamous silly face camera catches: When we celebrate like 40 years of marriage this will be funny. Today. It's just fun.

Our attempt at a normal pic. Is that even possible?

We hit the TGI Friday's before the game for some pre-game food. 

I think Tyler was THE most excited he's been in a LONG time. This is huge. His first pro-game of any kind. Free as a bird in those stands. So many new sights and smells. He absolutely loved it. I am so glad he was able to be there. This kid had a blast!

When Ryker got restless, I took him off for some stroller time and dipping dots. Morgan accompanied us of course because she heard the word ice...

After the game, we had some fine entertainment. We were certain Ryker wouldn't even make it through the game. But he did. And wide awake too. So to wear this little guy down he and daddy wrestled. For like 30 minutes. It was too cute not to document.

 At the end of this super long day, I was just glad to be in a bed at all. Snuggled up with these two. Best. Day. Ever? No. But it was an amazing day.

Happy 30th daddy!
