Bikes

Today I got a bike. Now I'm sore. I also got a sweet blue helmet that I didn't wear. Katie got her million dollar bike all tuned up for the... upcoming winter, so I decided to pick up a cheap bike just to hang out with her. I'm finding out that it's more of a workout than I expected, especially in this brutal Kansas wind. Maybe I'll get in shape after all.

A walk in the park

Monday after work we decided to go for a walk on the walking trail between Carey Park and Rice Park. While we were out there, I snapped a few photographs, including this decent shot.

Football Season

Even though the Colts already opened the season with a big win, today is finally the reall beginning of football season. And you know what that means... it's Fantasy Football season! So today, I'll be watching all my players hoping for big yards and a lot of touchdowns. I'm sure there will be more posts on this in the future, and you will all love it.

Labor Day Weekend, Part 4

Today we had to drive back to Hutchinson, but on the way, we stopped in Ashland, Nebraska at the Simmons Conservation Park & Wildlife Safari. Yes, it was as awesome as it sounds. Most of it was a drive thru nature preserve, but we also got to do a little hiking in a few areas. We saw quite a few North American animals, including elk, bison, antelope, wolves, and black bears. It was actually a pretty cool place, with a lot of land. The animals really felt like the weren't captive for the most part, even tho they are probably totally domestic. Anyway, it was a good way to break up the drive and get in a little more outdoor time before we start the work week up again tomorrow.

Labor Day Weekend, Part 3

Today, we went tooling around Sioux City looking at museums and historical landmarks. Turns out Sioux City is a very important location on the path of Lewis and Clark. The only guy on the expedition who died is buried in Sioux City. We checked out the Lewis and Clark interpretive center in Sioux City and another museum next to it that's on an old steamboat. We also went to the Seargent Floyd Monument where Floyd was buried. It's like a miniature Washington monument, but it was there before Washington's.
