Thursday was our fun day with the Busenitz family and we enjoyed every minute! We started out unloading/unfolding our electric bikes and let the kiddos have fun in their cul de sac.
The kids had so much fun – we left the bikes at their house and they rode them every day!
We all loaded up in their big van and headed to Salina for a volley ball tournament. Megan, Valerie, Lindsey, and Sarah all play for the Panthers – a homeshool co-op team. This is Megan’s senior year at homeshool and honored at a later game.
They won a few and lost a few – but it was fun to watch them play hard!
After the game we traveled back toward Newton – Jon took an exit and said he had a surprise to show all of us. A castle in the middle of Kansas!
The castle was built in 1936 as part of the WPA (Works Progress Administration). It is on top of Coronado Heights (one of the high places in Kansas ) It is alleged to be near the place where Francisco Vásquez de Coronado gave up his search for the seven cities of gold and turned around to return to Mexico.
We enjoyed a beautiful Kansas sunset and made some great memories!
