Life in the Little Gray House: Konza Prairie

Sunshine and I spent June 1-8 in Kansas visiting family and friends. We had a great time! It was so nice to have extended time with my family and catch up with some good friends. I have numerous pictures (I posted some on Facebook), but thought I would just share about our trip to the Konza in this posting.
I love the Konza prairie! T and I took many walks there when we lived in Manhattan. One of my favorite memories is when we hiked it in the snow. We took one of the longer loops, so we were pretty cold after we finished up. After we were done, we drove into Bob's Diner for some hot biscuits and gravy...they tasted so good!
This time around, it was definitely not cold. It was actually pretty hot and I was thinking that I had made a bad decision by deciding to meet my sister and her husband there at 5:00 in the afternoon to hike up the big hill. I wanted to hike the steepest part so that we could enjoy the view. I started thinking that Sunshine might end up thinking I was the worst mom ever or I might have a bad back from carrying her up the hill. Well neither happened. She loved it, and wouldn't let us really even help her on the steep parts. She wanted to do it by herself! Here are some pictures from our outing.
