.: Fall Fun!!

I finally made it down to Wichita with Matt wear we will be until the end of Oct! This saturday we had a lot of fun, Wichita was doing a free museum day so Matt and I decided to go museum hoping! The first stop we made was The River Bend Nature Center. It was so much fun! We learned about different bugs, reptiles, plants, birds, and butterflies!! We spent 2 hours just walking around and looking at all the neat critters! We got are own private tour because this one guy would not stop telling us about EVERYTHING!!!! Matt and I learned so much. Matt knows so soo sooo much on plants, flowers, trees, birds, and insects so the guy was having such a blast talking to matt. They kept going back and forth sharing information and lots of big words! Good thing I took a class on wear words orignated from like latin words and such because it helped me to understand about half of what they were talking about! We learned a lot about the metamorphasis a catipiller goes through to become a butterfly. We also learned the differences between butterflys and moths, and between butterflys! It was a very neat experiance and we had a blast!!

This flower was so beautiful this picture does not do it justice. It looked so delicate. We even smelt a flower that smelt like choclate and a plant that smelt like bacon bits...lol!

I thought he was kinda cute!

So I laughed when I saw this because it took me back to freshman biology when we had to go out and find certian bugs and pin them like this. I loved that project but Matt said he never did anything like this?...

This guy was so huge I know he does not look like it but he was big!

Turtles are one of my favorite animals ever so I had to get a pic.

Ok how cool is this picture? I love butterflys they are so neat looking but dont stay in one spot for very long so I had my camera ready at all times!

This Quail was so beautiful its mate had a problem laying eggs so she was taken into the vet. Well the male Quail would fly and sit in different areas and call and call and call for her it was sad:(

This flower was just a cheerful flower. (chels you know what im talking about...hehe)

This guy was just hanging out very content

Sorry this is a little blurry but this guy is just coming out of his cacoon freshly hatched!

The green things are cacoons and this butterfly has been out for a few hours!

I love this guy!!

They often hang upside down when they are first hatched to help there wings expaned and stop from sticking together!

This house is the Kell house they wear one of the first people to live in Wichita and wear very very wealthy. They were some of the first to have electricity, water, and an elevator in there home! Sorry there are no inside pics they would not let us take them and sorry that this pic is not the greatest it was raining so soo hard!!
