The Kansas City Chiefs

On December 9th we headed to Overland Park, KS to see Miranda and Rob and attend the Chiefs Vs. Ravens game. We were headed to the bypass, when the car stopped firing on all 8 cylinders. So we turned around and came home. Eric did a tune up in the drive way. Almost three hours later we were back on our way. The new hardware did the trick, and the car was running like a champ. I said, "At least it happened before we were on the Interstate." Eric says, "I would have preferred it hadn't happened at all." Well that was a given, but God was with us.

We arrived to Miranda and Rob's around 4pm. Rob cooked us a delicious dinner of ribs, cheesy mashed potatoes, corn bread, mixed veggies, salad and cheeseburgers for Eric and Chase. I love going down there to visit. I get spoiled by having Rob there to cook. After dinner we just hung out and then went to bed early.

Sunday morning Eric, Rob and I were out the door by 8:30am to get to the stadium. Miranda stayed home with the boys and they had a lot of fun playing together. We were parked and tailgating by 9:15am. This was Rob's first pro game, so he was so excited. We grilled hot dogs and ate cold beans, and drank a lot of beer.

We headed into the stadium and found our seats by 11:30am. Our seats were in the sun, so we stayed plenty warm. We didn't even need our gloves. We were of course disappointed in the outcome of the game. The Chiefs lost 20-10. Trent Green threw 2 interceptions and fumbled once. There just wasn't a lot of action. Of the seven games we have been too, this by far was the least exciting. The Chiefs losing the game, made for a long drive home! However, Eric still said he really enjoyed his Christmas present from Miranda, Rob and Meagan.
