Greetings from Kansas City

We are in countdown mode to Backyardigans Live. After a morning of shopping, Miri is taking a nap while Ryan is watching some football and snacking on leftover KC style BBQ from last nights dinner.

Our drive up here yesterday afternoon was pretty uneventful. Miri and I got to pet a horse that was tied up in front of a grocery store. He was pulling an Almish style buggie. Miri thought that was pretty cool, I felt like we had fallen through a time loop! The only problem with the drive up was that Miri refused to nap. She was pretty good, played with her sticker book mostly and listen to her "uggers" - she screamed whenever Ryan or I proclaimed it was time for some Mommy/Daddy music!

Last night we ate some local BBQ, that was Ryan's only request for this trip, and since he will be missing the game tonight - how could I say no! The food was good, but little miss no nap proclaimed she was done after about two bites of her dinner and then proceeded to scream until we boxed it all up and went back to our hotel. This is why we have some yummy BBQ for snacking on this afternoon!

We went to the Legends Shopping District (think Riverwalk Crossing only bigger, cooler and way more fun!) to look around. It is right next to the speedway, so we could here cars practicing for Sunday's race. There were tons of cool stores (lots of them were outlets) and lots of really cool fountains in the walking area. There was an interesting Dinosaur store (Build a Dino) but the line was out the door so we didn't get to go in. Ryan did take a grainy cell phone picture out in front of it - I will have to get him to post it in here soon!

Miri was ready for a nap in no time - so here we are, T-minus 2 hours and counting until the big show!!!!
