Friday Night: We went for supper out at the Eagle’s. After filling ourselves full, we went over to Kevin and Kelly’s to watch the movie I am Legend. Before we started the movie, Andy and I had to play a round of ping-pong as Kevin and Kelly were putting Aubrey to bed for the evening. I really like ping-pong because it doesn’t require a lot of skill. You just have to be somewhat quick and attempt to hit the ball in a difficult spot for your opponent. Most of my hits are in self defense, so you never know where the ball is going to go. The movie was pretty good. I didn’t care for the ending, but considering the topic I guess they did a pretty good job.
Saturday: Andy and I made our way to Kansas City. The trip actually went pretty fast until we made it into Kansas City and got stuck in road construction for about a half an hour. I always meet my dad at a particular Burger King, well to our surprise the Burger King was no longer there….but they still had the parking lot. So when we pulled up, there sat Dad and Denise along with my grandparents! I didn’t know they were going to be there also, so that was an extra surprise.
We then headed to the Ameristar Casino…which was awesome! I had never been in a casino like that. You walk in the doors and it looks like you just walked outside. It was like walking in a downtown area. There were buildings/stores and restaurants on each side of the street you were walking on. But you were inside! They had the ceiling all painted to look like clouds. It was really neat. We ate at the buffet, which was an experience in itself. They had everything you could think of. I ate country fried steak, crab rangoon, pancakes, potato casserole, chocolate cake and ice cream! (This could explain my weight gain this week)
After we ate, it was time for me to present my dad with his present. I tried to throw him off by saying it was an early birthday present. After looking at the frame and he looked up at me and asked if there was something I need to say. At which I told them all we were having a baby. They were all really excited, but proceeded to tell us they had already suspected that we were expecting. WHAT? They are in a completely different state! How could they have suspected? We floored our other families with the news. Either way, they were really excited about becoming Grandparents!
Afterwards as a way to spend more time together, we went shopping. Where you ask….Bass Pro! I have to admit I had a pretty good time looking around. After looking around for an hour or so, we said our goodbyes and headed our separate ways. We got back to Columbia around 6pm, too early to eat after our huge buffet lunch. So we went shopping again! Where you ask….Bass Pro! Is anyone else getting Déjà vu? That’s right we hit up two Bass Pro’s in one day and was tempted enough to head all the way south to Springfield to make it three. Here is where we actually did some shopping. Here are a couple things we bought: A plush deer and a camo pacifier!
Finally we made our way to HuHots! Damn this place is awesome! It is so full every time we go there. It’s obviously a huge hit in Columbia. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love their food. It is just something you have to try. I was highly impressed with Andy; he ate his whole meal with chop sticks! I attempted to use them, but I came to the point where I was stabbing at the meat trying to pick it up. Obviously not the correct technique!
All in all we had a great day! (Damn, I wrote a lot!)

I cannot let Cody read this....I told him that if a person were to go to two sporting goods stores in the same day, the Earth would travel off it's axis, and the world as we know it would cease to exist. Now my theory has been disproved!! DAMN! It sounds like you had a great weekend!
