Exploring Exploration Place

On friday, the 29th of October, Bruce and I headed to Mulvane to visist 3 of our Papon grandkids. On saturday, we got to take Katie and Kelton to explore Exploration Place in Wichita while little Konnor was getting his pictures taken with mom and dad. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful fall day. So the day begins.......
Konnor after his trip to Wichita. Isn't he changing??




Arriving at Exploration Place the kids had more fun watching the ducks.


This photo was later when we were all starving so we had a little snack break.

Kelton was cutting wheat in this picture. He didn't want to leave the combine!!


Pilot Kelton giving a try at the Wright flyer.

and of course, Katie had to give it a try too. This is very, very, hard!


I think the 172 flight simulator was the most intriguing to Kelton. We were amazed at how well he did!

I swear, Katie tried to touch this bullnose snake in its cage! Ickky...

They both loved milking the cow named Molly.


Kelton was very brave and touched a python snake - so did Nana- but not Katie and Papa.



This exhibit is when you first walked in. An assortment of balls making their way up and down and around! Was amazing.....
So after about 3 hours at Exploration Place, we headed to Taco Bell for our lunch and then home just before Mom, Dad, and Konnor arrived. Everyone had a fun filled day and when we arrived home, found 3 brand new baby calves....... We hope to go back to Exploration Place again very soon.

Labor Day Activities

The weekend was a whirlwind of activities. First my birthday on friday - I got my birthday cake that I wanted when the K-Kids sent my birthay cake in the mail! I displayed my cake on the wall for all to see! I love that it was 0 calories. :) Eric and Theresa and the other K-kids came for a visit. We got to play in the sand, ride the tractors and the ATV, feed Blackie, and they went to a class reunion. All of Eric's classmates brought their kids so they all played together on Saturday night. While they were at the reunion, Bruce and I went to NWOSU's football game where we saw Jack. We had fun with the other Rowdy Rangers! We have been enjoying cooler weather, but have missed out on all of the rain that everyone else is getting! There will be no planting of wheat in our area until we get a good rain! Next weekend is the State Fair and I will be ushering at Huey Lewis and the News! Can't wait for that. Yesterday, I had a fun filled day at the Dentist having a root canal. I'm so glad that is over!!!!!!!!
My Birthday Cake!!


I had to show the boys how to shoot! Yep, I still got it!

Bruce had fun shooting too, didn't bother his shoulder too bad!


Eric nailed the bluerocks consistently!


The kids really enjoyed our sandbox - and so did I.


Katie was quite intrigued with L.T. and he ate up all the attention from her.


Never got a picture of Mom - sorry Theresa!! Next time!
