Royals Closing Weekend

This year's baseball season has been a good one, for both the Kansas City Royals and the Clark family.  Steven and Lyla have enjoyed their trips to Kauffman Stadium, so much so that they have been upset when the Royals are out of town over the weekend.  The last homestand was a particularly busy time with back to back games Saturday night and Sunday morning.  

The Saturday night game was a typical Royals game, good pitching with a snoozing offense.  Unlike the Royals hitters Steven had a very exciting night when he pulled out a front tooth during the middle of an inning.  Bloody mouth and all Steven set through the rest of the game with a smile on his face and a tooth in his hand.  The Royals lost 3-1.

Sunday's game was a bit more exciting for both the Royals and the Clarks.  Steven's friend Fletcher and his family attended the game; the two were quite the pair and watched the game like old pros.



Asa also enjoyed himself at the game.  Although he did not find the action on the field particularly interesting, the floor of the upper deck concourse and access ramps were very entertaining.


Our daughter is a force of nature and sometimes all you can do is shake your head at what she says.  Earlier this summer she announced that when she has a baby girl her name will be Cutie Cat and that her baby boy's name will be Eric Hosmer.  That's right, the Royals first baseman.  What makes it a bit troubling is that Eric Hosmer is both the baby and the daddy according to Lyla.  To top the season off on the next to last game of the season she found an Eric Hosmer doll at the team store, so now Eric Hosmer (both names must always be used) can be with her at all times.

Game note, the Royals won Sunday's game on a 2-out grand slam in the 10th inning; nothing too exciting.

Labor Day Camping

Camping has become a big event for our family, even if we haven't been able to go as much as we'd like this summer.  Our Labor Day excursion to Longview Lake with the Van Doren's was a big time for kids with goggle napping, campfires, and piling onto Mom's side of the camper.  Hopefully we'll be able to go again before it get's too cold, maybe minus the goggles.
