Saturday has been our favorite day lately because it is just about the only time we've gotten to spend time together as a family. Anthony has been really busy with work, traveling to DC or upstate NY each week this month. I guess you could say the last quarter of the fiscal year is his "busy season." So Saturdays have taken on extra significance with TJ gone during the week.

A few weeks ago we hit up the Lenexa Spinach Festival. It was our 3rd time attending, but I neglected to blog about it last year. It was a hot, hot day. Naturally the thing Will would want to do most of all was "fish" in the hot sun.

Despite our patience, we didn't catch anything. Will intermittently throwing rocks in the water may have had something to do with it.
One of the things that makes the Spinach Festival so fun is the variety of free activities for kids. There was a Home Depot building workshop, painting station for finished Home Depot craft, photobooth, craft station for making a frame for photobooth pictures, fishing, bounce houses, wheel of fortune, fishing and 5 minute massages. Well, the massages were enjoyed by the adults.
On top of everything else there was live music playing too (always a plus for Will). My favorite memory from the day was when the masseuse asked me if "the hubby enjoyed easy listening" while Anthony sang along to a Paul Simon song. The band played a variety of hits. Will got the "Na na na na na na naaaah" (P!ink) stuck in his head and still sings it regularly, which he likes to mix up with "tonight's gonna be a good, good niiiight" (Black-Eye Peas).
As the heat rose my interest in picture taking waned. We later checked and it had been close to 100 degrees while we out. We ran into several friends and opted meet them at Red Robin for lunch instead of dining at the festival. Maybe not the most "shopping local" decision, but when you've got hot, grumpy kids, an AC becomes priority.
Can't go to a Spinach Festival without meeting Popeye and Olive Oyl.

Love the comparison pictures! That looks like a fun festival!
We love going to the Spinach festival every year! Too bad we didn't see you guys. It was way too hot and we quickly just browsed the booths before heading home. Next year, it will hopefully be much cooler! Oh and I love your photo booth pictures!
Sorry to hear about all the traveling. Chris only gets one day off a week so that's always the day we all look forward to. The girls have already been asking, "Is it Sunday yet?" Fun festival. Lenexa is a fun place.
