And what would any tourist destination be without a quick pic of every child, each less enthusiastic and more awkward than the previous?
A little further down is a place called The Holy City which is home to the longest continuously running Easter pageant in America. The founder thought the land geologically resembles Jerusalem and built several scenes from Jesus' life along with this neat little church-thing.
Of course when you are in a place called The Holy City, what is the first thing you should do? Climb on the building and desecrate everything right?
At the bottom of the hill, I mean, mountain, were fun friends like cuddly flower-eating prairie dogs and longhorns. Jacob chased many a prairie dog back into their holes and then tried to capture a baby as a souvenir.
We rounded the day out with longhorn burgers (sorry buddy) and a trip to the museum. The park has several herds of buffalo which, turns out, are huge animals and leave large piles of warm "presents" in the museum parking lot. I chose not to photograph that part of the day but it was impressive. 
In summary: -Wichita Mountain...who knew?
-Prairie dogs are fast
-Buffalo are productive
-Cows taste good
-We miss Daddy alot!!!
A possum hole in a tree with another petina-less clue that lead to...
A pond and some shovels. Eventually the boys unearthed...pirate treasure? Apparently these pirates never lost their keys or kept a blow torch handy. Only a grandfather would devise a plan involving preschoolers and a blow torch. :-) 
Inside were animal pelts, somewhat shady holy relics, jewels and, according to Jacob, "thousands of dollars" in recently minted pennies. Overall, not a bad haul! The kids had a blast, all of the pictures from now on will have Libby bedazzled in jewels and Jacob sporting these antique keys janitor-style on his belt loop.
We just finished reading The Indian in the Cupboard so he is now searching for a cupboard to put his plastic figures into.
We'll talk at y'all agin later!
