We had such a fun Memorial Day weekend in Kansas City! Annabelle LOVES hot air balloons, so we headed down to Gardner, KS and attended the Kansas City Hot Air Balloon Invitational held at Celebration Park.


We arrived in plenty of time to enjoy the bouncy castles, and the amazing Face Painting Paradise artists also had a booth. Annabelle and her abiding love for dinosaurs prevailed and of course she requested one for her cheek.


Here she is watching a balloon launch. I love the sense of wonder on her face.


More balloons!




On Sunday, we went to KC Jiggle Jam, an annual kids concert at Crown Center and had a blast. We enjoyed Jim Cosgrove (aka Mr. Stinky Feet) and The DooDads.
And, of course, the splashground fountains. Fun times!


This one just makes me smile.
Silly guy.
