Some Pictures I Took of Family

RIDING THE TRAIN AT THE INDY PARK

Exploration Place in Wichita

While in Wichita we visited Exploration Place. I only went here as a last resort- and am I GLAD I did! I honestly would have went here both days instead of the zoo had I known what it was all about.

There was a fairly large play area for kids 0-3 which was great for me since I finally found somewhere that Gavin could get down and burn some energy.

Devin had fun in the bubble exhibit and we saw a 35 minute movie in the CyberDome about a bird "Chirpie" who goes to the moon. It was really neat. There were several exhibits we didn't get to see since we had to pick Chris up at Cessna. We'll surely be visiting this place again when we have several hours to occupy.

The BIGGEST donkey I've ever seen.

Devin looking at the snakes. This was probably his favorite exhibit. He's all boy for sure!

The jungle. This was a really amazing indoor exhibit. They had birds, bats, and other animals just running (and flying) around. Devin was trying to catch some kind of little creature that was running around. I'm not sure what it was called, but it was about the size of a rabbit.

Devin just watched the flamingos. He kept saying "Hi flamingos! My name is Devin. How are you?"

Devin running after a peacock! He was determined to catch that sucker!

They had a HUGE petting zoo area. There were some kind of Asian chickens. They kind of chased after Devin- but it didn't phase him at all! The batteries in my camera ran out during this exibit so I didn't get any picutres of Devin's little black goat friend.

Tuesday Chris needed to head to Wichita for work- so we decided to tag along. It was a little hairy for me to find something to for the boys to do during the day while Chris was training at Cessna, ALONE in a town I'm not too familiar with, but we did have a great time.

We had a wonderful visit to the Wichita Zoo. It was rather chilly and misting rain outside. Other than the zoo staff, we pretty much had free reign of the entire zoo! This made it very nice for me. I worry about having both boys in a really crowded area and someone nabbing Devin. So- I was able relax a little here. We had a great time at the zoo and they had a lot of GREAT indoor exhibits. I'm sure we'll be planning another trip back, in better weather!
