C.W. Parker Carousel





Well, today we had a mini adventure...we went to an indoor carousel ride in downtown Leavenworth. It was produced in 1913 and was mainly used in Iowa. It held the record for the most rides in one day. It was a cute carousel and the best thing about the ride...it was faster than most carousels we have tried in the past. It was really spinning! :0 The girls had fun and rode it three times before we convinced them it was time to go. So, just one small adventure in KS!

We did walk to the Missouri River after the ride and enjoyed the view. It was a breezy afternoon and we enjoyed being near the river. It hasn't been too hot here this summer which has been nice, but KS does have a lot of humidity. It is a good thing I cut my hair short before we left TX or there would have been some crazy hair days here! hee hee

This morning some friends and myself walked around downtown KS. I couldn't believe how many little shops they had to offer and a lot of cute boutiques. I was honestly surprised we spent so much time just walking the streets and going in and out of stores. We had a nice lunch and then headed home for the afternoon.

So, off to more adventures in KS. We are still planning trips to Worlds of Fun, Schlitterbaun, and DeAnna Rose Farmstead. We need to keep exploring our new area! Love you all!
