2011 Wichita Riverfest

You can barely see the banner across the street but this is the entrance to the festival. Isaiah was playing golf, so Rachel and I decided to go and check out what the big deal is.

The Wichita Riverfest is a two week long festival that has lots of parades, music acts, and lots of food vendors.













This is part of the Arkansas (Ar-Kansas as its pronounced here in Wichita) River. It was very pretty and really peaceful. I think it would be nice to go down and walk along the river on another occasion.

I thought this float was funny. Back in Tampa during Gasparilla theres a giant pirate ship that they sail in the harbor and the parades all have ship replicas. I guess Wichita wanted in on the fun by creating this Wagon ship float to display.

Our First Camping Trip

Yay! Our first camping trip as a family...We went to Winfield City Lake near the small town of Winfield, KS. We rented an RV from Outdoor Rec and it was fabulous! We stayed from Friday through Monday and got to enjoy some family time and Isaiah and I got some individual time. He got to do some fishing and I got to put some puzzles together.

Isaiah caught lots of fish, including this really huge bass. It was so big we couldn't keep it in the bucket, so Isaiah set it free.

It was really hot, so we let her run around before bathtime with just a diaper on. She's a super funny girl!

Rachel and Polie enjoying some outdoor time. We bought Rachel her first camping chair and she likes it alot!

Below are some photos from Lake Winfield Resevoir swimming area. Rachel likes her float, it relaxes her alot and she enjoys watching all the other people swimming and having fun.
