Zep & I on the observation deck that looks out on Cheyenne Bottoms

took a walk on the nature trail

drove around Wilson Lake and saw this dreaded sign

we saw some two turkeys near the end of our loop

watched Genetic Roulette the night before I shoved off to Wichita

Many thanks go out to Brodie and Bianca for always welcoming me into their home. I always hope I leave it brighter than the way I found it. I could be back before you know it.

now that's what I call a FIRE

Didn't take too long for Brodie to get the tractor out.

he gave me a few pointers and I consolidated the burn pile

Sunday morning dawned with little wind, Brodie made the call, & we lit it up

the fire marshal came out a few days prior and issued our permit

Brodie adds a few extra items

lots of downed limbs and crap wood from the out buildings

the flames reached 25 feet tall at times

Brodie broke out the tractor to consolidate the ash

Brodie's craigslist find gets delivered.

he was so excited he had to try it out on his lunch hour

yep, DAD, is getting the hang of it!

roller boogie

A brand new roller rink opened recently in Great Bend and we were there on opening day!

Brodie met us at the rink right after work

did you think IRIS wasn't coming?

the music was a bit loud; she'll be the first to tell you.

trip out

all good in the hood


no shortage of bright colors.

OBSERVATIONS -
*there were a load of kids there that had never been on skates before.
*my favorite kid that kept falling and falling, finally took a trip to the hospital before the session was over
*the place was packed

trips to the BIG city

On Thursdays we drive to Wichita for the day. Zephyr has bowling and gymnastics and it serves as a time to visit friends and go to the health food stores. I take the car or borrow a car and strike out on my own for a few hours when possible.
