Over the weekend we stopped at the
mall to see the annual "Canstruction"
project. Our local food pantry benefits
from the food that will come from the
deconstruction of these projects. Those
in need will get to choose from a lot of
yummy goodies!
Each picture has a description of the
project. Click on them to find out about
each project and you'll see how many
cans each one took
to construct.
Here we have a replica of the Kansas
City World Series Trophy.
This is a combo of our stadiums--Royals
and Chiefs. Looking at the above pic, you
will see Royals stadium on the right with
the KC and Chiefs stadium on the left.
On the back side of the Chiefs stadium
the creators made and arrowhead
from cans and jars.
This is a replica of Liberty Memorial
which is located on the campus of
the World War I Museum.
This one is my favorite one!
What creativity! Looks just like it
is suppose to.
This is too cute too! I just realized that
the owl is sitting on a tree branch.
It is always fun to just walk around
and see what items were used to
build these structures. Fun to see.

Hi!
The World Series Trophy has been
on tour and we went to see it today!
The viewing was from 1-3 pm but we
got in line a little after 11 am. There
were probably 8-10 groups of people
in front of us. At 12:45 the line started
moving and before we knew it we were
standing THIS close to it!
We are so proud of our Kansas City
Royals and their win in the World
Series.
This is probably a once in a lifetime
experience--unless we win THIS
year, so we had to go.
It was soooo much fun!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Mr. Ken and I are feeling much better
ans so happy to be able to get out and
about.
~Keep on Dreaming~
Well folks, I did it! I planned an
adventure for Mr. Ken and I was
successful.
We went downtown to the Sprint
Center to see the Harlem Globe-
trotters.
Pre-game entertainment.
A Kansas City Line Dance
Group.
This is Globie.
Globie is playing musical chairs
with some of the kids.
Here they come.
Their famous trick. Spinning the ball
on their finger.
Putting on their moves.
Big G.--another mascot.
Ace--their female teammate, showing
a little girl how to spin the ball.
More smooth moves.
Halftime entertainment.
Hanging around during the game.
After much back and forth
the Globetrotters won!!
It was a nailbiter. Wow.
Mr Ken bought me and official
Globetrotters ball and I was able
four autographs.
We had a blast and I am so glad
that I was able to keep the secret
and surprise him!!

Last Sunday was a BIG day here!
We went to Granite City for a
delicious brunch...oh was it
yummy!! There was a specific
reason for brunching as you
will see. (Sorry lost the dang
picture!!)
Those crazy kids are taking
selfies again!
Someone had a birthday and
raked in some really good loot!
Here is the yummy birthday
bundtlet cake. It is made by a
company called "Nothing Bundt
Cake." These are soooo moist and
yummy.
The other excitement of the day
was that the Kansas City Royals
won the 2015 World's Series!!!!
Such fun and we are so proud of
our Boys in Blue!!!
This turns out to be the final score
in game 5 of the series. Of course it
had to go into extra innings!!
The exact time of the WIN and it is
still my birthday! So nice of them to
win the World Series on my big day!!!
News after the game!!
Boys arriving home the next day.
Parade day! Mr. Ken works at the
courthouse in downtown KC and
the parade route just happened to
go right by his office.
An exciting time for Kansas City!!!
We were able to get a really good
spot right his office building. Here
we are waiting for the parade to
begin. I did not have school and
as far as I know no one had school
that day, so I went to work with
Mr.
Waiting with a few of our "closest"
friends.
The parade begins with a giant replica
of THE trophy.
Here's Slugger! Our mascot.
Kansas City Mayor Sly James.
Dayton Moore, Royals General Manager.
The players....
This takes some explaining. Our third
baseman's name is Mike Moustakas but
the fans have shortened it to MOOSE.
Well this guy above has an authentic
moose rack (as you can see) that he
brings to all the games, so of course he
was part of the parade.
This is THE Mike Moustakas, he raised
his hand just as I snapped the pic.
Our All star MVP pitcher for the
World Series Sal Perez--Salvi for
short.
Our coach Ned Yost and THE
real World Series Trophy.
The team headed down to Union Station
after the parade for a rally--we did not
do to that wildness.
According to city officials between the
parade and the rally an approx 800,000
people were in attendance for the fun!!!
Now that my friends is A LOT of people.
Wow!!! A fun day for the city and for all
of us that live in the metro area. We all
love our boys and are so excited to have
the World Series Trophy here!!!
Told you it was a BIG post. :)
