Day #20 of our trip - May 30, 2012

Can't believe we have been gone since May 11th.  We have done and seen so many things and have kept busy.  Yesterday Lester, Leta and I went to Iola and while we were there we had to go to A & W and get a root beer float in a glass mug.  It has been a very long time since I have had a root beer in a frosty mug.  Below are some pictures of the last few days events.

Jason & Tera's kids have the Green Machine which Craig is riding.  It only has sticks to guide it with.

They talked Leta into riding it and look she is having fun!!
I was doing my blog on Monday and Leta talked me into riding it while my pictures were uploading.
This isn't so bad to steer, I can do this.
I saw Craig slide the back end around and so I thought I would try it but I guess it takes more practice.  I flipped it and hit my head on the railing.  I didn't even break the railing!!
Tera made a tarp and sprayed water on it so Cody could slide on it.  He was having lots of fun and it was 94 degrees on Monday!

Yesterday we went to Humboldt and Iola.  During the civil war the south burned all the buildings in Humboldt except one doctors house.  Humboldt was rebuilt and it only has one stop light in the whole town.  I actually attended high school in Humboldt my Sophomore year.

Buildings on the south side of the square in Iola.
The A & W in Iola KS
Lester would you hurry up and bring us our root beer floats?
This is really yummy!! Tastes just I remember it 30 years ago.
This morning we walked the old Katy railroad track trail again.  We walked a total of 2.8 miles today.

The trail goes under the underpass north of town.
We had borrowed a DVD of Osa & Martin Johnson the other day and we returned it back to the Safari Museum today while we were on our walk which is located in the library.
We are leaving Chanute tomorrow and going to Kansas City with Roger & Leta.  Heading to Branson MO on Monday morning and Roger & Leta are following us there and will spend a few days camping with us.  So tomorrow is a travel day.  May stop to sight see on the way so will post more when we get to KC
