I guess this is like Birmingham's Vulcan or New York's Statue of Liberty (just maybe a little smaller). This is the Keeper of the Plains. It is a beautiful metal statue down by the Arkansas (pronounced ar-Kansas here) River. We took the Redmonds down to see it while they were here visiting but somehow I managed not to get them in a single picture. Sorry about that.
Before we moved here we had an informational book about Wichita that had a picture of this statue on the front. EC use to look at that book and ask us questions about Wichita so she was very excited to see "the Indian" in person.
Walking across the really cool bridge to get there.
Don't ask me what I did to deserve this pose and smile. He volunteered it and I took advantage of the moment.

What did you do to deserve that pose and smile? Well, scroll down in your blog and read that entry about going to Wal-Mart a week or so ago. THAT's what you did to deserve it.

Nice shirt choice Knox!
Sweet Knox! She loved the first day. She has Gwen and Hayden and JD have Ms. Tammi. When I picked her up, she said, "Can I go back, please Mama." I guess she loved it!
