Last year, over this very weekend, we took Owen on his first road trip! Owen was so little. He slept most of the day, made sweet sounds, didn't destroy my house every waking minute, didn't throw food, didn't freak out if I wouldn't let him run around in a crowd of hundreds...Ah, those were the days! Look how peacefully he slept in the Moby!
We visited some friends we knew in DC, who also had the fortune of moving to Kansas as well! We made our way down to the Plaza Art Fair in Kansas City - what a great street fair! Alas, we were not in the market for art, just the delish food (and margaritas!). We miss you Matt and Katie!!
Towards the end of the day, it started to rain. Can you see Owen's little outline under my coat? Maybe I should see if he still fits under there?
Fast forward one year: look at that mischievous little monster! He was plotting his escape. Right after this photo was taken, the little monkey put on quite the show because he wanted to investigate. Alas, we won. But did we really?? He cried and was a bear for the next hour and a half. BUT, he got to try his first Burnt Ends from Jack Stack and the ham out of some Bleu Balls!
Blue Balls are these tasty little fried treats - the "donut hole" version of Chicken Cordon Bleu. I DO NOT LIKE HAM, Sam I AM, but these were delish! What is not to like: fried goodness, ooey gooey swiss cheese, and some little hunks of meat. Needless to say, Owen enjoyed this detour from his normal fair of steamed veggies, grilled chicken, and quinoa :)
This year we met up with some friends from the other Washington! Unfortunately the inebriated fool we asked to take the picture missed the kids in the strollers...So excited the McKees are in town! Amy and I used to play on a soccer team at Fort Lewis - Will and Andy were our biggest fans! Welcome to Kansas!
