Mission Window Art

The city of Mission encouraged businesses to decorate their windows in celebration of the city’s 75th anniversary. The public gets to vote for their favorite. 

Spooky Walk

We took a spooky stroll through the woods in Mission as the kids trick or treated. A fun evening.

Toddling Good Time

Vala found much to challenge her and enjoy during Toddle Time in Mission.

 

Best Fun On HOT Day

We took the gang to the Mission splash pad since it was so hot. With the temperature hovering in the high 90s, it was the perfect entertainment.

Splash Away the Heat

Vala and Adam enjoyed the Mission splashpad on such a hot day. Happy to have water this time around.

 

No Water

Adam's expression says it all as he sits in the Mission splash pad where there is no water. Seems whoever cleaned the drain let all the water out of the reservoir so it was going to be an hour before the sprinklers would turn on. We didn't wait. Too hot.
 

All Things Sunflower

Mission celebrated its first Sunflower Festival along Johnson Drive. The only sunflowers were in the window displays. They had a window art competition for merchants. I liked the one below.

KC Thunder Ride

KC Thunder gathered at the Mission Hy-Vee in preparation for a ride to the National Cemetery in Ft. Scott to lay wreaths on graves for Memorial Day. The Thunder Ride is annual event to honor troops and raise funds for veterans. About 250 cyclists were participating.

Hiding in the Trees

Stacy and I were on a walk in her neighborhood and at the end of the road in this out of the way area, she showed me her discovery - this Conoco sign. Wonder why it's there.

Swirling, Swirling

That's what I think of when I see these carnival rides. They were never really my friend. If you want a ride, check out the Mission carnival tonight or tomrrow.
