Finally meeting Fredbird and Briley's First Circus!

Last weekend we went to St. Louis for the last Cardinals game of the season. We are so excited to have a break from taking that long trip down I-70! We of course lost the game because they lose pretty much every game we go to, but we did find Fredbird! I have been on the hunt for Fredbird for two years and have not had any luck until last Friday night. Andy and I were walking around with Briley when I looked up and saw him. I had Andy hurry over with Briley while I searched for the camera and got it ready. Briley was not so sure about being too close to him so Andy just held her. This was the highlight of the season for me!
I didn't get many other pictures this weekend because my battery died on the camera, but we had a lot of fun with Andy's family. They were building an Extreme Home Makeover house close to their neighborhood so we went to see that, which is always fun. The family getting the house go to Sara and Ryan's Church. Andy and I actually talked to them breifly as we were leaving Bella's baptism. They have two little twins who have congenital disorders. They have required numerous surguries and the Mom had to quit work to stay home with them. Their house was not handicapped accesible and they had no money for improvements, so ABC came in to help. The show airs at the end of November.
We also celebrated Mary Carol and Lissy's birthdays while we were in town. Happy Birthday to them and Andrew who celebrates his birthday today!
Andy's parents and Molly came to Kansas City this weekend to visit since we always give them a hard time about always going to St. Louis. We went to Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus Saturday afternoon. Andy and his family had never been to a big circus before and I believe they all really enjoyed themselves. Briley loved it! She enjoyed pointing and clapping when the would do something spectacular! Her favorite part was the elephants and her least favorite part were the Chinese acrobats. Afterwards, we headed to Manny's for dinner. Thank you for coming to the Circus with us Grandma, Grandpa, and Molly!
