The girls and I traveled to Wamego Sunday for the annual Tulip Festival. Of course, since it was called the Tulip Festival, I assumed that there was going to be lots of flowers. If there was, we sure missed them! However, we did have a good time. It was windy, but otherwise a very warm day. Vendor tents were everywhere and many organizations had booths. We went hungry and didn't have any problem finding food to eat, the problem was deciding what to eat! We had funnel cakes for dessert. Yummy!
The girls wanted to partake in many of the "rides" that were there. After finding out what the cost was for each girl/ride, I had to make an exective decision for the girls to pick one ride to do. A miniature train ride was free and the girls enjoyed riding it a couple of times. The ride of choice was a inflatable house complete with a wall to climb, slide, and lots of bounce for the bucks! It didn't surprise me that they came out of that chanting "I want to do it again!" I was very glad to see that the park was filled with swings, slides, etc. that was all free!
The highlight of the day was getting to ride a REAL horse! The local 4-H group was raising money by giving kids a short ride. I think the grins on the girls faces says it all!
Wamego is also home to "The Oz Museum" http://www.ozmuseum.com/ I see a trip back to Wamego in the near future to visit Dorothy, Toto and all the gang!
