Jiggle Jam- Kansas City

Memorial Day Weekend called for a quick trip to Kansas City to attend Jiggle Jam- the nation’s largest family music festival! With a name like that, who wouldn’t be excited? Well, Adam. But take a look at the following video and decide for yourself if he enjoyed himself.

Choo-Choo Soul was our favorite act.

There were princesses!


Fountains

A cart that drove around with the sole purpose of stopping so kids could take drumsticks and bang on it.

Kids made crazy paper bag hats

Little painting

Giant “hampster ball” for kids

We ate at Fritz’s burgers, where we phoned our order in from our booth and our food arrived on a train!

Then a quick stop to get a chocolate-covered Twinkie…why not?

T-Rex cafe was AWESOME! Didn’t get any pics from inside, but it was amazing. Check that, the atmosphere was amazing. No one loved their food- oh well.



Looks a little cold in the pool- but it turned out to be the best part of the trip. On Sunday night the Kansas City orchestra was playing right outside our hotel and thousands of people were there to enjoy. Kids didn’t make it to the end, so we headed back to swim. To our surprise- the fireworks were directly over the pool. What a view.

A Pinkalicious 4th Birthday!

Jaeley is 4! Her favorite new book discovery is the “Pinkalicious” series by Victoria Kann in which the main character LOVES everything pink and even TURNS pink from eating too many pink cupcakes. An obvious choice for the bday theme!

We decked everything out in pink and had pink taffy, pink marshmallows, pink jelly beans, pink strawberry o’s, and even pink-filled Oreos.

Grandma Ellen made the awesome pink cupcakes with a HUGE one for Jae.

Everyone was required to wear pink to the party

The day after the family party, Lexi, Brenna, Kealin, and Katie came over to celebrate for the afternoon.

The girls- all went to daycare at Amy’s together;)

We were PINKED out. Happy Birthday Jae!
