Kevin,

What a great picture.  I see you had your dad in a wheel chair this time.  Hope things are going well for everyone.

I see you had your dad in a wheel chair this time.  Hope things are going well for everyone.

Dad and I had a wonderful trip. Far too short, but we had a great time.  This time I insisted he use the wheelchair and he did not resist. It made him more mobile but he is a proud man and it is hard for him to "look" weak.  Except for not getting my Fudge Monkey at Toot's it was a pretty good trip.

We stayed in Winfield and I must say that the view from the Elk County Line looking towards Grenola to the East has got to be one of the prettiest sights I have ever seen. When I tell people my family are all from Kansas they invariably say, "Eeeew, Kansas is so flat" and I reply not in the Flint Hills it's not.

I've updated my website with new links to my Facebook Albums so if you want to see more pictures of the reunion.  Have at it.
