We began celebrating the impending start of school last weekend with a shopping extravaganza at Janie and Jack, with Gowah and Grandma Pat! G was so incredibly cute that the lady at the store requested that she step outside in front of the bench so our photos would turn out better :) After the shopping fun, we met Daddy at The Cheesecake Factory at The Plaza. The weekend was filled with fun! Saturday we spent the day meandering through The KC Zoo! After the zoo, we spent the late afternoon and evening swimming and then had a wonderful night at a new sports store called Sheel's! Garrity and Daddy rode the indoor Ferris Wheel and Garrity got to go bowling for the first time!
We spent two nights in KC, and enjoyed just being "us" for the weekend! We also have had several visitors leading up to the BIG DAY!
The second day we had a blast at the KC Zoo! We never tire of this big ol' polar bear!
Monday night Grandma Madelyn stopped by to drop off a few BTS treasures!

After the zoo we went to the hotel and swam for a while. We then headed out to a new sports store: Sheels and enjoyed all of the activities it had to offer!
When we got back home Sunday evening, we enjoyed dinner at Gowah and Grandma Pat's and then were greeted with a huge care-package from The Crooks' family!
