Looking for Buffalo

And I found one! Several actually but here's a pretty good pic of one. I actually had a pic of one much closer but it turned out blurry. We saw him on the side of the street so I had Mike pull over so I could click a pic. I climbed over Mike to take it and the Buffalo started towards the car so Mike took off darnit! That would've been a really close picture!
We drove up to the Wichita Mountains for the day. Everyone had fun but it was so hot! We saw a lot of buffalo and some deer. We saw some really cool bugs too. Here are some really neat butterflies we saw that don't seem to mind people too much. There were several of them by a really pretty little lake. I really like that lake because the water's crystal clear. you can see all of the little fish and everything really clearly just by walking along the edge. The lake that we live by is just the opposite. It looks really dirty. I'm really not much of a nature girl at all. I don't mind going for walks or bike rides by the lake or even going up to the mountains once or twice a year but that about covers it. I'm not in to camping or anything of the like. We went and ate lunch at the Meers restaurant that I mentioned in my last post. Check out the size of this burger! No, I didn't eat the whole thing for those of you who are wondering...LOL! That place is always busy. We had to wait about 45 min. for a table and then another 45 for our food.

Cassie's sleepover with her friend went well last night. They didn't seem to want to go to sleep though. Boy, there's a shocker! LOL! Little girls are grouchy in the morning when they didn't get much sleep. Pretty dramatic too. Not my fault....I told ya to go to sleep...lol. I'm sleepy too. I stayed up until I knew they were sleeping just make sure they weren't up to anything...lol.

Good lord that burger is huge girl! Looks and sounds like you guys had a blast in the mountains, it is so pretty there! Glad to hear the sleepover went well I bet both girls (and yourself!) were exhausted this morning. Tell Joshua Sebastian says HI! He misses Texas so bad he cried to me this morning about going back.

Tell Mike he'll have to try the hamburgers in Topeka: http://www.seabrooktavern.com/
Scroll down a bit to see the picture. Its 3lbs of beef and is 14" across. Our office is located near them and sometimes we'll order a couple to share.
Your trip to the mountains sounds really nice. I would love to visit there in the fall, after a frost!
