Kool-Aid Days 2011

Did you know that kool-aid was invented in Hastings, Nebraska? A guy named Edwin Perkins invented it and started it all. We made the 2 hour drive this morning in order to make it for the 9:00 parade. The parade was great and Akoy loved every second of it! After the parade we got mugs that we could refill with all the koolaid we wanted. We tried a few different kinds before playing some games.

We went to their history museum and looked around. Bryson could have spent hours in the museum. Akoy loved point all the bears out. The museum consisted of a lot of different areas. We only touched a few areas before bed time came. We watched a movie on stars and played in the kids area for a little bit. Bryson had fun dressings us all up. 






 



One of the blow up Kool-Aid guys was in Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It was huge! 5 minutes into the drive home we noticed Akoy was already out. So much for his sandwich! :)
