On Nov 1st, the Royals won the World Series!! On Nov 3rd there was a parade in downtown KC to celebrate. So of course we HAD to make the trip. Jason remembers the last time they won the world series in 1985, and has been a lifelong fan. I am admittedly not the biggest fan of baseball in general, but the Royals have been really fun to watch this season!
Jason took off work and we let the boys skip school, and we crawled out of bed at 4:30 am to load up the car and head to KC. We arrived downtown around 8:30 am and met up with our friends the Hardins (who came in from St. Louis) and the Buhrles. We got a great spot to watch the parade and had a blast catching up with our friends. We also got to see the Kellys which was fun! We hung out for 4+ hours before the parade got to us, but it was worth it!
Walking to meet our friends on a beautiful foggy morning. Our parade spot was about 1.5 miles from where we parked.
We took some pictures from the Liberty Memorial. This is before the crowds got super crazy. They estimate 800,000 people were there!
Snacking while they wait for the parade to start. My kids were disappointed that no candy was thrown to them during this parade. :)

The Clydesdales look pretty amazing in blue!
Just a glimpse of some of the crowds flooding the street at the end of the parade. It was jam packed with people - and this is just part of the crowd. Jason hates crowds but he still thought it was worth it! Congrats Royals!!!
