Wichita Weekend

Last weekend we enjoyed a fantastic Labor Day. We went to Wichita Friday night and hung out with the fam and friends all weekend. I had time to work on a sewing project with mom, hang out with some friends over dinner Saturday night-and even cook one of Chris and my favorite meals-it was a blast. Sunday we went to see Grandpa Benny, who was in good spirits and bright eyed. That afternoon we went to see a friend/coworker of Chris' from Flight Safety and it was good to catch up with them too. One of our highlights for the weekend was getting to see a long time friend and phi delt-Kevin and also Jeff-who just moved to Arizona in the last year or so. Since we dont get to see either of them or their families very often, it was a great treat and also so incredibly wonderful to hang out with such good friends and company for an evening of fun.

Monday we left about mid-day and went to Ponca City, Oklahoma to see an "oil baron" museum. I was like--hmm...what's all that about? when we were driving home to Wichita-so we looked it up and found out it was like a 55-room house and a big historical part of the city-so we made time to see it on the way home. It is called the Marland Mansion or Estate. (see website below)

So, if you ever come to visit-we highly recommend it-its only like $7 to get in and really really pretty to visit. We took a guided tour-and it was quite enjoyable.

Well, we may have been the youngest people on the tour, but it was a good time nonetheless. : )
