July:
Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a
Every year, Chick-fil-a has "cow appreciation day" which is a day you get a free meal if you dress up in "cow attire." So we got creative and met my Mom and sister and her 3 girls for some yummy chicken sandwiches!
Not that I needed anything else to make me feel like a cow as I sat there nursing Dominic...🙄
Follow the yellow brick road! (We were in Kansas after all 😜)
After being cooped up all that week, it felt good to get out and walk around somewhere!
Line Creek Train Rides
A local park offers "train rides" for $0.50 a ride so one Sunday afternoon we met Nana and Bumpa there to take a ride!
This one wasn't too sure about the dark scary tunnel...
Dominic loves a good breeze
Best buddies
Random Days in July and August
"Wise Men" (excuse the giant ironing pile in the background)

Wishing for cooler weather? 🤷

Rainy day fun
High Kings Concert
This past Friday, Zenith and I finally made it out on another date, this time doing a double date with my sister Angie and her husband Thomas. We went to an Irish Festival in Kansas City and had a blast, especially since my favorite Irish Band was playing, the High Kings! What a fun concert with good, classic Irish songs.
Absolutely made my night when they sang one of my favorite songs, "Town I Loved So Well"
Fun night!
Yesterday, after a long week of lots late nights from overtime, we decided to get out of the house and went to our favorite Aussie cafe in downtown Kansas City for breakfast after Mass, and then headed to Crown Center and Union station to walk around somewhere that had air conditioning. It was a lovely day out and much needed for us all.
Wore this guy out...poor thing fell asleep chewing his strap!
The boys LOVED the model trains they had there. William was so excited when we drove in because he remembered it from the last time we were there, 2 years ago from this very week for our road trip!
This kid especially was enthralled. Couldn't keep him moving to keep looking at all the trains. He kept wanting to just stop and stare at everything.
Finally getting back to doing things here and there but for the most part, August was a quiet month. Zenith has been working lots of overtime with the heat, which means overtime here at home. And not feeling so well the past couple of months has meant I've been rather cooped up. We are looking forward to some cooler weather ahead, although no sign of it yet! Hopefully once that happens, we'll be getting out and doing more.
I'll post some more updates on the boys and other "goings on" in the next few days, so stay tuned!
Happy Monday!
