A Kansas Day Date Day

Hannah and I had a date day today.  She had soccer this morning, so I planned to leave right after soccer.  She had a lot of fun at soccer.  They don't do the same activities every week, but this week they did her two favorites: the squishy balls (which they use to practice "big kicks") and the parachute.  Afterward, she got her two stamps that ever kid gets.

We then went to a Kansas Day celebration at the Johnson County Library on Antioch.  They had a lot of different organizations and groups with activities and booths.  Hannah got to search through a vat of sunflower seeds to find various trinkets that represent Kansas.  For example, there was a toy harmonica to represent Home on the Range (the state song), a small bit of wheat to represent The Wheat State, etc.).  She also got to plant sunflower seeds in a pot that she decorated and churn some cream to replicate a task that children used to do on farms.  There was also a big cake shaped like the state to celebrate Kansas' birthday, and some small cupcakes as well.  Hannah ate two cupcakes and would have eaten a hundred if I'd let her, as she loved them.  It wasn't the most fun date day activity we've ever done, but she still had plenty of fun, and the cupcakes certainly helped too.
We then went to lunch at Fritz's Railroad Restaurant in Shawnee.  But those pictures are on my camera, and for some reason I can't get them off it right now, so I don't have any pictures from it for the blog.  After that, we went to get a haircut for Hannah.  She just needed a trim, and we stopped by Great Clips since Brandy was working.

The Chiefs have a playoff game later today, so I meant to bring Hannah's Chiefs jersey that Halie gave her to change into after soccer, but I left it at home.  So instead Hannah just wore her plain white undershirt for our date day, but once we got home, I changed her into her jersey for the game, which we hope the Chiefs can win to finally end their long playoff win drought.
