4 on the road, to the Port of Tulsa. Day 2

Hi you guys,
Its Tori. Today we spent 8 hours on the road. But with some stops and adventures. I got to take magnificent photos that were mostly awesome. I am really exited about one of the photos with the Monarch butterfly. It is the coolest one. Anyway we stopped at Sequoyah State Park on lake Fort Gibson.  it is pretty nice here. We went on night walks, we went swimming in the outdoor pool, and did a little Tennis. We are having a lot of fun. I think today is the most fun so far. Anyway, I did notice that here in Tulsa, there are A LOT of bugs.When we were in the night walk grandma, grandpa and i were noticing the fireflies twinkling in the humid night. It was so pretty. I also found a fish skeleton that was pretty big, by the lake we are staying by. It scared me a little bit. But I was fine. I fell asleep in the car ride again but right when we woke up I was the first one to spot a deer walking along the road. I was pretty lucky there! I am having fun on the trip and I can't wait to see my cousins ,on Friday. well i better get on my way. it is 10:17 and i am really tires. but i love you all and wish you a good night.
love you guys,
Tori (or Victoria)

Susan here:
Drove out of Newton Kansas, largest Mennonite population west of ...If they are here, they hid the buggies and don't wear black.  They HAD, however, as Victoria noted, all but rolled up the sidewalks by 6PM!

We saw many large grain silos between , Goodland and Wichita.  but when we drove south the silo combinations were the size of cities and train cars were equally abundant.  The wheat is looking Tall and lovely and the corn WILL be knee high -- and more -- by the 4th of July.  Destination: Wichita Botanic Garden, world reknown and  the proud purveyors of a newly opened Butterfly Pavillion
