Some grown up time (picture overload!)

We headed to Kansas City Thursday evening... it was a nice easy drive... always nice! After arriving at my brothers we visited a bit, had a few of my brother's home brewed beers, discussed Kung Fu, and headed to bed...

Friday - We were up by 6:30am! Habits are hard to break... even on vacation and without a baby! It was great to just lay in bed for a while though... Once Leah is up, there is no more relaxing in bed! ... Steve and Sarah both had to work, so Brian and I headed to the waterpark, Schlitterbahn alone. The park was crowded and they did not have their lines organized the best, but we enjoyed just being off work, having some fun in the sun, finally getting a tan, and the swim-up bar! We were worn out by 2, and back to my brothers by 2:30... then it was nap time! I woke up just in time for Sarah to be home from work and time to head out for the evening. Steve and Sarah took us to a resturant called B(something) and Bottles, in the Plaza... it supposably had the best burgers in Missouri.... It was upscale, and fun... HUGE burgers, AWESOME sweet potatoe fries, and homemade ketchup that was SO yummy! We sat outside... it was a great summer dinner.... food and beer!

Afterwards we headed to the Power and Light area where went to the Kozlen's favorite bar, The Flying Saucer... its one of the places with hundreds of beers and you can sign up for their club, drink 200 beers, and get your name/plate on the wall... Steve and Sarah are both right around 100!! It was like the TV show Cheers... everyone knew their name! ha.

After multiple crazy beers... one of mine was served in a champaign flute!.... and some AMAZING pretzels (Sarah I craved them all day yesterday!!!) we went into Power and Light, got yelled at by a bartended who thought we were not tipping him... jerk!... and a beer... we headed home.

Saturday - Our day started early.... we actually slept in till 745ish!! ... we left the house by 930 to get to our Boulevard Brewery tour. By 10:50, our drinking began....

After our sampling of the yummy beers we headed to mexican for lunch where we ate tons and then headed to the baseball game. K.C. is known for its tailgaiting... and we of course had to do our share..

We made it to the game... where we sat in the second to last row, ... and cheered for the Cardinals like it was a home game...

We drank more beer and sweated our butts off...

When we had enough... in the 8th inning... we decided to have a media blackout and not find out what the end of the USA vs. Ghana game was and watch it on our own... We made it home and realized that we wouldnt get to watch the game until 8... so we napped, ordered BBQ, and cheered on team USA! ... to a loss...

Sunday - we were up again by 7:30, showered, and headed home early.... we were just too eager to see our baby girl!!

Overall though it was a WONDERFUL weekend! Definitely much needed.... and hopefully we will get to do it all again soon!!!

As for Leah's weekend... I will leave that for another post!!
