Mid-June 2019 - Arthur Brothers/Weekend with Kids

Busy Week!  I took Ron to Belton on Monday to meet Merle for the start of Arthur Brothers Golf Week.  Bryan drove down from Minnesota that afternoon to join them.  They played at Tiffany Greens in NKC on Tuesday - Pertle Springs in Warrensburg on Wednesday - traveled to Clinton to spend the night and then played Meadowlake on Thursday before Merle and Bryan went back to NKC.  Bryan then drove home on Friday.  It was nice to get to visit with Merle and Bryan for an extended time - it had been a long time.

We went to Overland Park Saturday morning for Garrison's baseball game, then we stayed with the kids while Amanda and Chad went to dinner and to see Hamilton with friends and stayed at the Marriott downtown for a belated anniversary weekend.   We had a great time with the kids, although the rain kept us from going to the KC Zoo on Sunday morning as planned.  Garrison's baseball game scheduled for Sunday afternoon was even cancelled due to the wet fields.  There was quite a storm Saturday night.  We wanted to take them to see a movie, bowling or something else fun, but they wanted to stay home after shopping at Target, Bed, Bath and Beyond and Bath and Body Works.  They had fun making slime in changeable colors.  We played several card games and board games then went to Burger King for dinner.  We had lunch at Chipotle (by request both places) and after dinner went to Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat.  We also picked up a few items at Hyvee.

Since we couldn't go to the zoo, we went to Duck Donuts for breakfast - took us over 20 minutes to get there, but it was with the trip!  Made to order donuts - warm and yummy.  The kids loved it.  After we got back to the house, we had fun watching a movie, playing cards, practicing their music lessons, Peyton and I practiced Heart and Soul, and ate leftovers out of the refrigerator for lunch.  We had a lot of fun.

Another fun week of retirement for Ron - we are blessed.
