Cessna Stadium, Wichita, KS, United States - 16th July 2013
By: MamiTig
I was one of a few special TVs that the host family took on a bus trip to Wichita to see the Drums Across Kansas drum corps competition. We rode on a school bus with other local band kids (and a few parents) to the Cessna Stadium. We stopped along the way to eat at Subway Sandwiches for dinner. We got there a little early so we got to wander around and see the bands practicing. Then we went into the stadium to see the show, which was was beyond amazing!!!!

After an exciting night of ghost hunting, we stopped at the beautiful Precious Moments Chapel on the way home. Host mom said she has traveled to many places in the world, and this is one of the most peaceful places she has found.

The host family were really busy with the convention today so most of the TVs stayed back at the hotel, but I got to go wander around with the host family. When I got back to the room, I took a look at the view of downtown Tulsa from our hotel room

On our last day at the convention, we spent some time just sitting and watching the people pass by in the hall, near the artist booths. Some of them were very interesting!

On the way home, we stopped at Red Robin in Owasso for lunch. We love the veggie burgers, but service was crazily slow!!! The table just behind us had 3 sets of customers while we waited for our food, grrr!!! But, the veggie burgers were delicious!

We went to deliver hedgehogs to PetWorld in Lawrence, KS. It's the best pet store in the world (at least, the host family thinks so). The staff are super friendly and they let you pet the animals and teach you all about them!

We took a trip down to the Neosho River to check the water levels. At the beginning of summer, the entire area was under extreme drought conditions and you could easily walk across at hip level. Now the water levels are showing at over 9 feet deep!!! We got a lot of much needed rain this summer!

Host mom took us to visit the Wayne Garrett Memorial Children's Garden. It was built by master gardeners who volunteer with the local after school program and dedicated to the husband of a local teacher, who was killed in a tractor accident.
