The last weekend of freedom

School started this week. We always try and do something fun before the new school year kids off. On Saturday, we went to a Royals game. We had great tickets, behind the Red Sox dugout.

Unfortunately for me, I sat next to a man who was very large, loud, and had a bit too much to drink. But we did manage to enjoy the game.

Between innings 3 and 4, some mascots came out to have a dance off. First, it was KC Royal vs Herbie Husker, the University of Nebraska mascot.

Then Lil' Red, the other Nebraska mascot, joined the party. Apparently, he likes to dance on his head. . The kids loved it.

Ok, back to baseball.

After the 4th inning, the kids were getting bored, and the large dude next to me was getting on my last nerve. So we decided to check out the kids area. The kids area was pretty neat. It had a museum, small baseball diamond that the kids could run around, a batting cage, miniature golf, a large play area/jungle gym, and a carousel.

First, we walked through the museum. It was filled with allot of interesting artifacts.

Outdoor patio to enjoy watching the game.

It really is possible to go to a Royals game, and not even have to watch a Royals game. LOL. After we walked around and checked out all the new fun things, we decided to head home. But not before we stopped and bought some cotton candy!
