Weekend in Wichita

This year, we purchased season tickets to the Tanganyika Wildlife Park. A few times this year, we have driven down for just a day trip a couple of times to visit the park and drive back. We had a rare weekend free and decided we would stay the whole time. William loved staying in a hotel and getting to swim in October! It was also the park's Halloween celebration weekend, so W was able to wear one of his (many) costumes to the park.

The best part of the park is the ability to get up and close with the animals! All the animals they have at the park are rescues. We were able to pet some of the animals and had feeding passes along with our season tickets.

Since we had an extra day in Wichita, we visited the Old Cowtown Museum. It's a fantastic little place and I so wish we had something like it in Kansas City to take my students to visit! It was a mock up of a pioneer cow town. You could go into the buildings and see what the businesses were like then. There was even a shootout (!) we got to witness! William got hi photo with the sheriff and then the whole cow town shootout ensemble.

Wrote his name all on his own!!
