Day 3 - Road Trip 2015

Deputy of Dodge City

Newly was a gunsmith in Dodge City and a deputy when they needed him.  

Today my kids became deputies! Hehe!

We are so glad we made it to the Boot Hill Museum this morning!  

Buck Taylor starred in and was the narrator for the video and again the Gattis kids were thrilled to see Newly!  It just makes me smile that they love him like he is our neighbor. :)

One of our favorite Buck Taylor prints hangs in The Long Branch Saloon.  

 Some day I hope we have that print hanging in our house!  We had A LOT of fun!

We saw gorgeous sunflower fields in Kansas!  

They were the big sunflowers like the ones you see in flower arrangements.  

We saw massive feed lots! 

Kenedy kept saying Y'ALL ARE GONERS! Bahahaha!! 

These lots covered acres and acres.  

I had to turn around and take a side road to just see how massive the one in Decatur County Kansas was.  I stood on the roof of my suburban and took a panoramic picture.  

I could hear Kenedy again letting the cows know - Y'all are goners!  Cracked me up!  

Our line at home when we smell cow poop is "I smell money!"  

Well, we smelled a lot of money today :)

Then we topped a hill and there it was!!!

Zion Lutheran Church

It was the most precious church you have ever seen.  

We stopped took some pictures, held hands and prayed!

We rolled into North Platte, Nebraska and headed to Buffalo Bills Ranch.  Wow!  It was gorgeous.  The kids said if we could have a ranch like that then they would moved to Nebraska.  Whoa...

We knew about Buffalo Bill's ranch called Scouts Rest Ranch from our visit to his grave site and museum in Golden, Colorado a few years ago. 

One thing Kansas & Nebraska have in common is the speed limit thru town...small towns.  

And on our drive all of the towns were small :) 

Try 20mph!!!  

At first I thought man that is slow ... wonder what happened in this town.  

Then...4 more times!  I just wonder what the speed limit is in the school zone!

We topped the day off eating BEEF!  Hehe! :)

It is whats for dinner!  Y'all are goners :)
