One of the greatest things about Kansas City is the food and especially the BBQ. We had an Oklahoma Joe's feast on Friday night in the front yard. It was just our family and it was one of the highlights of the weekend. The kids played in the front yard, we visited with neighbors (of the 9 houses in the cul-de-sac, 5 are still the original owners so we have known them almost our whole lives. So good to see you Dan and Jean H., and of course Biff stopped by), Cadie caught lighting bugs in a jar, we stayed outside until it got dark enjoying each other and the Kansas spring weather.
We put the "For Sale" sign in the yard after dinner and there were a few tears - me included. This was an amazing place to grow up. Kick-ball in the cul-de-sac, walking to the pool daily in the summer, stick patrol before Dad would mow the lawn, the tree house, exploring the creek, sledding and riding bikes. I could not have asked for a more safe, fun and wonderful place to grow up. Thank you Mom and Dad for building a home and family for us at 9936 West 121st Street!

What a beautiful posting. We have had lots of great memories as a family in that house.
