3-0!!!!! Chiefs vs. San Francisco

The Chiefs are 3-0, can you believe it? It was a beautiful fall day -- perfect for tailgating & watching the Chiefs win!

Monday Night Football -- and more!

Monday Night Football returns to Kansas City!! The Chiefs took on the San Diego Chargers and it was such an awesome game, rain and all! V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!

The game didn't kickoff until 9:15 PM, so... we decided to go to the Royals vs. Oakland A's game beforehand! So at 2, we headed out to the Truman Sports Complex and went to the baseball game, then tailgated for... around 4 hours... then headed to the Chiefs game! Ava had such a blast! She stayed awake and cheered through the whole game!!!! We didn't know how she would do, but since we couldn't find a babysitter, we tried it out and she made it until the second we got in the car - @ 1 am!

GO CHIEFS!

The nice thing about Kaufmann Stadium is they have an entire area devoted to kids. Water fountains, the giant baseball, a huge playground, mini-golf, a merry-go-round, kids restaurants and pro shop, a mini field so they can "run the bases," etc!

On Saturday, we went downtown to see Dora the Explorer, Kai-Lan, the Wonder Pets, and the Backyardigans in Nick Jr.'s Storytime LIVE! Ava kept pointing and saying "oh wow!" We would catch her waving to the characters every now and then. It was a really neat experience and we hope to go again someday!

Until next week... Chiefs vs. San Francisco!!!! 2-0!!!!

Chiefs vs. Packers.. and more ZOO fun!

Today we went back to the Kansas City Zoo to see their newest addition.. a 3 year-old polar bear named Nakita. He is SO COOL!

watching Nakita get his lunch!

Then rewind to Thursday... and that brings us to the final game of the Chiefs preseason vs. the Green Bay Packers. WE WON our FIRST preseason game since 2008 (avid fans)!! It poured down rain during our tailgate, but just before game time the skies cleared and a pair of rainbows graced the stadium (see below.) It also made for this awesome picture I took with my iPhone... no flash, no effects.. this is the real deal. Cool, huh?!?

I had to add this cute little video of Nakita.. sorry if it's loud -- might want to turn down your sound first :)
