Early December KC Trip

December 5-9, 2012

Kevin and I took Ryder on his first airplane ride and trip...to Kansas City, Missouri the beginning of December! We flew out on December 5th and headed back home on the 9th.

Ryder did amazing on the airplane and I now feel like I could write a post on traveling with a baby...it was so successful ha! 

Here is a little glimpse of what went down:

Here is a little of what happened:

+ We went to 2 of Kyle's basketball games and all the nieces and nephews wore SBU Bearcats t-shirts or onesies made by Kathy, to support Kyle!
+ Ryder slept 9 hours for the first time! He slept really well the whole trip...but he has been a good sleeper for awhile now but 9 hours was a first!

+ Kevin, Ryder, and I saw Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 with the Painters...it is sort of a tradition! We have seen all of the Twilight movies (except for the 1st) with David and Tara when we go visit them in the fall/winter! Too funny. Bummer it is over! So, yep, that would mean that was Ryder's first movie in the theatres! He did great except for after I nursed him he cooed for a little bit before falling asleep lol.

+ We walked the Plaza with Starbucks beverages in hand (caramel apple cider anyone?!)

+ We attended a Wachter work party bowling night! Wachter is where my father-in-law works. Also, I was a temp with them for a summer. It was fun to hang out, eat barbecue (of course when you are in KC!), bowl, and we even got to see some friends from BYU, Wes & Christen Guenther! It is always fun introducing Ryder to friends :) I am a very bad bowler but sometimes I can get some strikes...I think I got 2 or 3 in a row...of course, Kevin and Wes bowled a ton of extra games. I can only handle 1 or 2 lol.

+ We watched my nephew, Zach in an indoor soccer game...meanwhile I fed Ryder haha. 

+ We ate at a Mexican restaurant with family and some of Kevin's friends that he got to grow up with! Some interesting, funny stories were shared!

+ Ryder got to meet cousin Simeon, a couple weeks younger than him! It is crazy how close in age they are! Actually he got to meet lots of cousins and family for the first time!

+ We hung out with family and had a big lunch before we had to catch our flight!

It is always fun to get to KC and hopefully we will soon ;)
