Wichita 2010!
We took a family trip back to Wichita to visit Graham and Jessica and to let Jen and Tyler experience a BB game in Koch Arena. The fans are GREAT and loud. There's a lot of enthusiasm backing the Shocker's. We just happened to be there during the Artic Blast. BRRRR!

Jen - a little camera shy on the airplane.


Ty - a little camera hostility.

Jess enjoyed breakfast with us before we left Wichita. Notice the hot chocolate in Tyler's hand. I think I must have drank a gallon of that stuff - it was COLD! 4 degrees in the middle of the day.

Jessica found another interest during her husband's game. Don't tell Graham she probably wasn't watching his fantastic game. This is Trinity, Graham's teammates baby. Isn't she cute.

Wearing our "Shocker" gold.

We had to learn the Shocker "signs" during the game. Look at Jen's hand.

Look at Kenny's hand. "W" for Wichita.

Graham & Jessica after the game - eating at a famous Kansas barbecue restaurant.

I don't know why we aren't bundled up with our heavy coats and scarfs - I think it must have warmed up to freezing when this picture was taken. - we commented we felt like that little boy in "The Christmas Story" with all of our layers. (even though I don't have a picture of it). Believe me when it was so cold we didn't stop to take any pictures - you just rushed to get inside a warm building.


We had a great trip. It was an experience we'll never forget. We don't get to experience that kind of weather very often. Thanks Graham and Jessica for a fun weekend at your place.
Go Shox!!!!!!!!!!

We had so much fun with you guys here! Sorry the weather wasn't better! You will just have to plan another trip to come up during the spring when it's prettier!

Looks like fun (in the cold!). We've had lots of cold weather here also - looking forward to spring and summer!
