You should come visit us even if you answered no.
Why, do you ask?
Because Lenexa, (our neighbor to the west) was hailed the "Spinach Capital of the World" circa 1930. And today we celebrated this distinction by attending the 2010 Spinach Festival.
It was a gorgeous day, and for that we were grateful, because we invited our friends the Divines to go with us. Last time we hung out with them we got stuck in a crazy summer storm. Yes, today was gorgeous.
Upon or arrival we immediately headed to the paddle boats. Will was NOT a fan of the life jackets, but once we were aboard he relaxed a bit.
Love that wind in his hair.
The paddle boats wore us out so we had to check out their food offerings.
In addition to the traditional festival fare, they had a variety of spinach dishes, including the world's largest spinach salad.
We didn't actually try it, but heard it was delicious.
There were all sorts of crafts, games, and activies for kids. Will is a bit too young to fully enjoy them, but it was still fun to walk around and check everything out. Popeye and Olive Oyle were there, but we didn't see them when we wanted to get a picture. We had to settle for this cut out.
And in case you were wondering, that sweet necklace Anthony is wearing he won playing washer toss. Will loves it, and now Anthony understands why I rarely wear jewelry.
All in all, a great day.
