Camping in Council Grove
Posted May 18, 2010
We haven’t been here before. This was a new experience. We went camping at Council Grove Lake just north of Council Grove Kansas. This was a great campground, with concrete sites and coverd picnic tables. Electricity and water, and right on the lake. We went with our friends, Daryl and Jen and their family. Penny and I were kidless this time. Jeff didn’t want to go.

Jeffrey’s Last Band Concert
Posted May 14, 2010
Jeff played his last concert today. His grade sounded really good and I’m sad that he won’t be going on with the trumpet in High School next year. I did the same thing with the Alto Saxaphone when I went to High School, so I guess I can’t really say much. I’m glad he got the experience that he had, and I’m sure he learned a lot of valuable music lessons that can be used later in life.
Check the rest of the story for a short video.

Camping again at Afton
Posted April 5, 2010
We ventured out on Saturday morning for a one day trip to Lake Afton. It was supposed to be warm. It was warm and windy. Oh well. We got a little fishing in, but mostly just hung out and enjoyed each other’s company.

Bon Jovi Concert
Posted March 12, 2010
Penny and I went to the Bon Jovi concert at the new Intrust Bank Arena. It was a great concert. They’ve still got it after 27 years. A really good performance and the stage show was awesome. They had lots of movable screens that displayed live video as well as produced content. A really top notch show. Video at the bottom of this post.

New Arena Open House
Posted January 2, 2010
Penny and Clayton went to the open house for the new Intrust Arena in downtown Wichita today. This is the only time we will be able to see all the private dressing rooms, locker rooms and such. Plus we wanted to see the new place. Wow, it is really nice. They have enough concession stands and bathrooms, that’s for sure.
