A Saturday full of sun and fun


The annual Children's Mercy picnic was held at the Kansas Agricultural Hall of Fame. Children's activities kept Hunter, Carson, Jessie and Brad busy all day. Many participants enjoyed carnival games and inflatables through-out the day, after they filled their stomach's with picnic food and ice cream. The kids also loved playing in these fountains in a nearby shopping complex.




































































































































All afternoon, we observed all the people with LARGE stuffed animals, color-ful hats, and other prizes awarded them for the games. We were determined to go home with one of the BEST prizes as so many did. After the kids attempted a few games Brad and Hunter joined in the FIGHT. Several rounds ensued, but neither one could make the necessary "shots" to win the BIG prize. I even tried to play, but came up empty-handed.

Between the 6 of us, we must of played 100 rounds of games and NO ONE was awarded a big stuffed-animal! We hung our heads and exited the party feeling humiliated that so many people could earn the BIG prize, but not us!

    Eh, what were you going to do with a monkey the size of Brad? I mean, you've already got three of those at home, right? :) Your kids are getting so BIG! I can't believe how grown up Carson is looking! :( I love your blog, Stephanie -- it's so nice to see so many people that I love from 'home.' :) Thanks for posting!

    Those big stuffed animals are filled with those staticy (I just made that word up!) little balls anyway...and you know they always spring a hole! Glad you had fun with the family. Hope you have a great Labor Day Weekend.
