~~~My Grass is Blue~~~


I can't believe I forgot to tell you about The Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield! This was our 11th year to go and it only gets better and better. Of course it rained ALL day on Thursday but we didn't let it get us down. It rains almost every year, so we're pros. Such great people that we camp with. We have a blast together! I didn't even leave the campsite to see music very much because I was just having too much fun relaxing, chatting, cooking and laughing!


The sunset on the drive there. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive.







Our buddy, Kevin (Little Kevy).



The Chair Ninjas "chair" peoples tents every year. 
The first-time Winfield goer always gets "chaired" first. 





Chris sharing a moment with the guard of our tent.









 We made double sure the rain wouldn't leak into our tent. 
Oh yea, and Chris made that super cool picnic table. 
It fits together like a puzzle. No screws or nails involved.




Campground decorations.





Sausage and okra. Deelish!






This was the 3rd year for the Suit Parade. A campsite brings bags and 
bags full of old suits. Everyone digs through and picks one out. 
Then we all march around the entire festival. It's ridiculous. 
Chris always has an ulterior motive and comes home with some 
pretty nice suits. 




Chad got creative and pinned two suit jackets together.








The tiny city of Winfield is flooded with thousands of people 
during this week and so everyone holds garage sales. Pretty smart if you ask me! Chris and Kevin always go. Chris found some cool stuff, including this box of fish tackle. The kiddos were very intrigued.





Lunch!


Our campsite!





Saturday night group dinner. 




Packing it up. Hey, that's a lot of stuff!


See ya next year, Winfield!
