All the Fun Stuff

We have been packing in the fun stuff, so once again I only have a highlight of all the things we've been doing. I'm glad we are packing in some excellent summer happenings before we have to spend probably about 3 weeks moving. 

We've been getting to spent some time with CB and her husband NJ. They have some cute kids, a really nice pool and just a ton of general awesomeness. Here is K playing kinect with one of her kiddos, who is much better at it than either of us. (Blurry cell phone, woohoo)

 

We participated in a volunteer night for BikeWalkKC to build some commuter bikes that will eventually be installed all over kansas city, similar to the zip car concept. It was fun getting to hang out with fellow bike nerds and get back to volunteering. We are hoping to do more with the organization and others.  

BB had the excellent idea to attend the Kansas City public library's Off the Wall summer movie series and it was great. It is a free event, among the great downtown KC view. They hold the movies on the rooftop and we had fun attending Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. It was funnier than I remembered, probably because it is a better group movie, especially when we went with some people who has never seen it and who were loving it. 

As you can see we attended our first Sporting KC game and it was really fun. I have to rate it my favorite sporting experience in Kansas City. It is more interesting than the Royals (sorry baseball fans) and less crazy than the Chiefs games (sorry again). But really? They shot confetti on the field every time a goal was scored, and because everywhere in the stadium is so close, it rains down on you. How fun is that? K was so excited he basically had joy shooting out his eyeballs (see above picture). 

Whew, not pictured are a few other fun things we've been doing: Dinner with Ms. Nithi and LP, A great happy hour at McFadden's for our friend SW's birthday, Camping with BB and her bf Beard (see K's blog for those pics), a pool party at CB's. 

Upcoming in our lives: DJing a Wedding, maybe some berry picking, a baby shower in Bloomington, Indiana and moving. The more distant future is generally getting excited for Baby Squinky's arrival and my parents visiting from Australia!
