Fall in KC Part 1

 We were able to see Roman play a soccer game although it was quite chilly.  Afterwards we played mousetrap and went for a walk/bus ride.

Baseball and Ballet

Rachel, Libby and Dave (all red shirts)

Friday night in Kansas City found us in Lee's Summit for a baseball game.  Little sister started to keep score but eventually lost count and wandered off to play with friends.  The next day, Davis's game was rained out, but that gave him a little time to clean up for his sister's dance recital held at the Folly Theater!

 Just as little sister wandered off during the baseball game, big brother also got a little distracted during the recital. This year's baseball-ballet weekend differed a little from last year's  because Brett and Kyle were at Boy Scout Camp this year.

Dancing Rehearsal

Anna had her dance rehearsal on the big stage for her dancing recital at the McKinney Performing Arts Center in the old courthouse in the center of town.  Such a fun venue in this old theater on the second floor.

 Anna is the Cowardly Lion in one of her dance numbers and this was the first time they had performed with their tails.  The teen sitting on the bench has a small role to play in each of the pre-school dance numbers, but I think she is mostly there to give the little ones some assurance and support.

 Anna's ballet number is very sweet---I got some of it on video, but the spot lights really faded it out.

And, Kansas City

Two out of three kids had basketball games---one was a spectator.  The official above was one of the best---he would kneel down, talk to the girls, remind them each time what direction they needed to go in.  For someone who obviously loved the game, he did a great job with this Kindergarten team.

Gymnastics Meet

Meet Me in St. Louis Gymnastics Event

Roman and Coach Kevin

Waiting for results

Chesterfield Athletic Club 

Roman won 3rd in Vaulting

Mercury Gymnastics won 2nd over all.

Roman and Rebecca came to St. Louis for a Gymnastics meet.  I am so happy I got to see my little gymnast.  Sadly, we were too far away to photograph most of the events, but I did get to see him on the floor (9.1), Pommel (5.2), Rings (7.1), Vault (8.5), Parallel Bars (8.2) and High Bar (7.7).  It was all very impressive watching this 6 year old perform on all the apparatus.
