Satanta

Thanksgiving with Mendy! I finally made it to Kansas and it was a fantastic trip.

A bike ride around the town of Satanta to see the sights. This was the kids' school. We loved the playground

We took the kids bowling and had a blast! It was Cookie's first time.



We went to the family farm to see the minature horses and animals. It was so peaceful. Our highlight was seeing the donkeys walking along the road. We had no idea where they came from and they were plenty friendly. This is a pic of my new friend...

We love these guys...

We were able to visit Boot Hill in Dodge City. It was great to step back in time with our Sasparilla and enjoy the little town. We saw it all and spent ages in the gift shop. It was a fantastic day.

Thank you Howe's for having us! We love  you.

St Louis

Appa and Poppa met us for a fantastic weekend in St Louis. We spent some time walking around downtown at the Arch and the old Courthouse. ( dad. could take another step away from the rest of the group? - super)

We loved going to the City Museum! It was an amazing and strange place full of tunnels and things to climb on and explore. My big girl wasn't feeling great and scowled for most of the photos.

This is the cave area. Cookie (yes she has a kitty face) loved climbing all over the rocks and tunnels. Freckles loved the 10 story tunnel slide.

more cave stuff.

The whole place is pretty much climbable. We climbed through turrets and onto planes and over peoples heads... very bizarre.

the family picture outside the museum. Check out Freckles' taped leg. Between her injured knee, a sore throat and just being an adolescent, she was a grouch for most of this day. ( bless her heart- we love her anyway).

Ang and me enjoying Ginger mojitos. yum.
