This weekend was a fun and busy one. We picked Chris and Chip up at the airport right after work and then headed to the Kansas City Wizards soccer game. It was the conference championship and tickets were only $5. The game got pretty physical, but the Wizards easily won the game 2-0. From here we went back to the apartment and played Texas Hold’em with the poker set that the boys gave to Kim for her birthday. In the end I lost to Chip, but it was decided that the next night we would play for money.

Saturday we headed to one of the Mexican restaurants down on Southwest Blvd. I have started calling this area of town Little Mexico, and once again I was not let down. The food was great although the selections on the jukebox were not. From here we went down to Kemper Arena. There were some horse competitions going on. The most exciting part was the jumping competition, but we still only sat to watch 4 riders. We then headed down to the zoo. We only had about an hour and a half before closing but this would be plenty of time, especially since they closed Africa. How can they just close a continent, especially the most exciting one. We had fun watching the kangaroos though, trying to get the llamas to spit on Chris, and feeding these birds called lorikeets. We got tickets to go inside of their flight cage with cups of nectar. Once inside the cage, the birds landed all over you. At one point I had 8 birds on me. It was really fun, besides the few that decided to bite my ear, or the ones that decided to poop down my back. I wish we would have brought a camera. After resting up for all of a half hour, we decided to go bowling. My first game was awful, but my second was great. I think I had the highest score of the night, around 120. Kim won the first game and decided to bowl the next game left handed. Surprisingly she did pretty well. After two games, we headed back to the apartment to start our poker tournament. I didn’t do as well as the night before, although I did finish in third place. Kim won the tournament again, but it was a close battle between her and Chip.

Sunday we headed to Chipotle, and then up to the airport to drop the boys off. The weekend went by really fast, but I think we all had a great time. From here Kim and I went to Doni & Phil’s to watch some football. Afterwards I got a much needed haircut, and then soon after it was time for my hockey game. What a busy weekend…
