Tonight we took Sarah to her first-ever sporting event - a Sporting KC game!  We would have had a great time either way, but it was even more special because Uncle Adam and Aunt Megan were there to share the experience with us.

 

I let Sarah take an extra long nap before staying up until 10:00 for the soccer game. 

 

 

Once she got up, we put on our best Sporting KC gear and got ready for the game!

Game time!!!

 

I thought Sarah might have fun with a tattoo for her face.  I'm glad I got the removable kind, because she immediately peeled it off and lost it!

She had a lot of fun hanging out on Daddy's lap, though!

And when that got boring, she tickled Megan's head!

Pay back!

Oh, yeah!  And also they won the game!  Go, Sporting KC!!!

 

At the end of the night, I asked Sarah what her favorite part of the evening had been.  I fully expected her to say it had been the bus ride (shuttle) to and from the game.  She surprised me by saying, "The pink man."  It took me a minute, and then I realized that the goalie was in all pink that night!  Who knew she would pay that much attention to what was happening on the field?

My favorite part of the evening, though, was the rainbow that appeared over the stadium after a short downpour just after the game had started.  What a special first game for Sarah!!!

 

 

 

Shatto TWO-our

That's right.  We went BACK to Shatto Farms.  And why wouldn't we?!?  You get to milk a cow, you get to try delicious, delicious samples, and you have a ready-made excuse to spend time with friends and family at a kid-friendly event!  YEA!!!

 

Some parts of the tour were the same.  Good old Aubrey was still the unfortunate cow that had been picked to be milked by a bunch of small children and city folk who have now clue how to milk a cow.  You can almost see her mentally rolling her eyes...

 

 

Some things were new, though!  The calves that we had met just a few weeks ago were already out in the pasture, and a new calf (named Solstice because she was born on the summer solstice) was hanging out in the barn.

 

Sarah loved playing with the straw, and I just tried not to think about what else was on the barn floor!

 The awesome mooing truck wasn't available for the kids to see in the bottling plant, but it was rolling around out on the farm!  The driver was kind enough to push the mooing horn for the kids as he drove past, though.

 

This time through the plant, Shatto was bottling their chocolate milk.  It's a good thing we went straight from the plant into the tasting room!

 

Once again, we got to sample butter, cheese and milk.  This time, though, there were a couple of new flavors!  The new cheese (garlic-mushroom) was seriously yum. 

 

We also got to sample all of the same standard flavors we had before, but this time we also got a sneak-peek preview taste of their newest "seasonal" milk.  July's milk flavor will be Apple Pie.  It was good, but I don't know that I need to go buy a quart of it!

 

I love me some Shatto!!!
