Buffalo Bill Days in Leavenworth, KS



We headed out this morning to Buffalo Bill Days. "The festival — honoring one-time Leavenworth resident, Wild West show organizer and Medal of Honor recipient William Frederick Cody — started in 1969 in Leavenworth and lasted for more than 20 years before several different city celebrations were consolidated to eventually become what Main Street has hosted for the last several years as the First City Festival." But, now it is back!

We had fun strolling the streets of downtown Leavenworth. There were lots of little games to play along the way, carriage rides, and lots of different vendors. The girls also enjoyed the Kiddie Corner where they made a bead from clay, had their face turned into a butterfly and colored some pictures of Buffalo Bill. We even enjoyed a traditional Indian show. We will miss the Outhouse races due to nap time, but it sounds hysterical!

After lunch and almost three hours on the streets of Leavenworth, we decided to come home for naptime. Lydia was worn out! Onto the circus tomorrow! Love you all!
