Even though the weekend was packed with sessions for all of the girls, we still managed to find one morning to go explore Wichita. We found Cow Town. The best way I can describe it is that it's a western expansion town museum, with a saloon, blacksmith, train depot, general store, boarding houses, and others. It is a completely hands-on museum which meant that the girls could go into each of the buildings and explore the artifacts inside. It was actually pretty cool. We didn't count on the rain, which meant that any time we could go inside and explore was a great option. If I had taken McKenzie here by myself, I would have been a lame parent, and she would have pouted the entire visit. However, because she was there with all of her friends it was the best experience ever. They joked, goofed off, and roll played their way through the town. It ended up being a great excursion, even if we were completely soaked by the time we were done.
Practicing roping. Hayden's mom actually does know how to rope and helped teach the girls.
Do you think their teachers back home will count this as makeup work?
They had a carriage for every occasion.
They choreographed an entire line dance to show us.
Drinking sarsaparilla at the local saloon.
Visiting with the sheriff. There were no gun fights that day because of the rain, but maybe he was just running a tight ship.
Watching the blacksmith make an iron rose.
Troublemakers, all of them!
