Wichita, Kansas


It took us 4 hours to change a toilet seat cover!  Yuck!  After that we decided to go to Exploration Place in Wichita.  It was a pretty fun museum although we have been to so many museums we have become museum snobs.  We all really enjoyed the thinking puzzles they had throughout the museum.  While at the museum it started to rain so hard.  We were in a room surrounded by glass that was on the edge of the Arkansas River.  I honestly thought I was Noah's wife and the building was going to float away.  I absolutely love watching the the rain and lightning and hearing the thunder.  Peyton said "We don't get lightning like this in California."  Thee we don't get in California phrases has become his new saying.  After the museum closed all the boys played mini golf on the museum owned mini golf course.  Good thing we carry our own golf clubs in the RV.  I stayed in the RV and made a steak dinner 
(editorial comment by Dave... Cindi is an awesome cook!  She has been making us all great meals).  After dinner we took a walk across a really cool walking bridge that had a very nice, 2006 completed, area saluting all of the Plains Indian tribes of Mid America.  Then we started our drive to Topeka, Kansas.  The highlight of the day was watching some spectacular lightning as we drove.  We also got to watch a firework show as we drove towards a small Kansas town along the way.  Right as we passed by, at the perfect time, they lit up the sky with their gra
nd finale.
