One Nice Day

Kansas City weather can be summed up as a place where you have 2 nice day.  One comes every Spring before the heat and humidity arrives, the second in the fall just before cold and snow.   Last year was below normal.  We really did not have a nice Fall, as October was unseasonably cool.  Spring was also as 70 degree weather did not arrive until late May.  Our reward for the endurance may be this Fall.  We are in a 2 week stretch of rather nice weather. Temperatures have been in the 70's and 80's with no rain (until Monday) and virtually no clouds.  It has been a great run of weather.

Last Saturday, the Grandmother and I spent a good deal of the afternoon with the grand kids.  We started by attending the annual Basehor Car show held at the local high school.  I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.  There were hundreds of classic cars in all stages of renovation.  The 60 GTO brought back memories for me.  Clay and Madison quickly bored of the show.  Cole did not.  Even as we left, he was repeating "car, car, car" and straining to see each one we passed. 

I snapped a few pictures.

A picture next to this car was taken only to make their daddy proud.  It's a 1969 Mustang Cobra.

Clay gives two thumbs up to a classic MOPAR.

They just wanted their picture taken in front of this 3-wheeler.

This one is for Grampa Hansen.  A beautifully restored International Harvester pick up.

 Next we took advantage of the 80 degree day with a trip to the park.
