Sometimes you just have to say “yes” and we did just that last weekend! We were talking about how much fun we had at Taylor Swift in Atlanta and how much fun it would be to go again and we decided just to go again! We cooked up this plan on Thursday night, got a ticket hookup through Lyndsay, booked some flights, got a hotel room and a driver to take us to the show and we were on our way Saturday morning! Now, that makes it all sound very easy and it wasn’t quite that easy but…it was all worth it!

I think we had the most fun on Thursday night and Friday just getting ready for the adventure! Making bracelets, running around town for an outfit..getting excited!

Off we went very early Saturday morning!

We stayed downtown Kansas City and I can’t say there is much to do down there but we did take a trip to Flavortown and had lunch at Guy Fieri’s taco joint.

The library was cool!

I’d say we ended up with some perfect outfits thanks to Target (no surprise there!). We were ready!

I was very thankful we were able to find a driver to take us to and from Arrowhead Stadium. The traffic getting into the stadium was terrible and it took us an hour and a half to get from out hotel to the stadium – normally a 12 minute drive!

After our 5am ET wake up call, this little car nap in the traffic was needed!

But we finally made it and we were so excited to be there!

Our seats were awesome and a totally different view than what we had in Atlanta which was great.

Lots of bracelet trading…we had some good ones to give out! Most so good that Samantha didn’t want to give them out! 🙂

Some in our party appreciated certain sights more than others – Patrick Mahomes and the Lombardi Trophy! Go Chiefs!

We screamed and danced and sang until (almost) the last song! We ducked out a little early just as she was starting Karma so we could beat the crowd out and get to our car. That was the right decision with my tired crew. It was another epic show and I loved getting to see it again with my favorite people!!! I’m a Swiftie for life now!

It has most definitely not been a cruel summer!

Skiing day 3! The temps were a little higher and the sun was out and we were all happy skiers! Bluebird day on the mountain!

Twinkies!!

Lunch break!

After lunch we decided to take the single pole/disc lift up to Cirque, the highest point in Snowmass at 12, 510 feet. None of us had ever been on a lift like this before but we were feeling optimistic!

The boys all got on and made it to the top with no issue. Here’s Maxwell riding up.

It was a different story for the girls! Samantha was really nervous but she got on and started going up. I then fell trying to get on but then made it on just two people behind her. About 3/4 of the way up, the wind was so strong and her gloved hands just couldn’t hold on and she fell off the lift! Oh no! I tried to grab her and pull her with me but that didn’t work so I hopped off too and we had to ski back down to the lift. We then had a decision to make – give up and ski on down the mountain and meet the boys later – or try again to get to the top! We tried again and I am so glad we did!! Once we finally made it, the views were worth it! We were eye level with the tops of all of the mountains. It felt like a snow desert up there! So cool.

Ready to live on The Edge!

We went down a couple of black runs, tons of blues, and had a great day all around!
