Labor Day Weekend is Coming!
The Gibby's are super excited for Labor Day Weekend! That's because we're taking a mini-family vacation! Brent and I both took off work this Friday. Friday morning we are heading up to Kansas City. We're going to stop at Cabela's first. Brent and I absolutely love that store and we've been dying to take Carter as soon as he was old enough to enjoy the animals. Then we're heading on to the Coco Key Water Resort. This is a fairly new, indoor water park in KC....it's actually right by Arrowhead & Kaufman Stadiums. We're doing the water park thing most of the day Friday. We are staying at the Holiday Inn that is part of the water park on Friday night. We also plan to visit the Bass Pro Shop in Independence, MO on Friday evening since we won't be far from it at all!
On Saturday, we're going to the Kansas City Zoo and we SUPER stoked about that! We took Carter last September, and while Brent and I really enjoyed it, Carter was still too young to enjoy the animals. But I know he'll have a blast this year b/c he LOVES animals. We intend to spend the whole day at the zoo on Saturday and then head home Saturday evening.
We were able to get a really good deal on our little weekend get-away through a package deal with Coco Key. We get water park passes for 2 days, a hotel room, and passes to the zoo all for one great price. They also have packages where you can get tickets to a Royals game instead of the zoo. We might have to try that next year. Right now, there's no way Carter could sit through an entire baseball game....he's WAY too antsy!
To round out our holiday weekend, me, Brent, and Lindsay are heading to Eskridge on Sunday to our cousins Candace & Tuff's house for a shrimp boil. I'm really curious as to how this works. Apparently they throw shrimp, sausage, small ears of corn, and baby potatoes all together in a big pot (or turkey fryer) and cook it up! Then when it's done, they dump it all out on a table covered in newspaper and everyone digs in. Sounds like something you'd see in the South! Brent and I have never attended a shrimp boil, so we're really excited to try it!
After the shrimp boil, we're going to the Eskridge Rodeo.....yee-haw! Love rodeos, and we'll get to see Tuff's boys compete in the Muttin Bustin, which should be a blast!
I can tell we will definitely be using Monday as a day of R-E-L-A-X-A-T-I-O-N!!!
Hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day Weekend!!!
