In Flanders Fields

This Spring we went to the nations only World War I museum. It was a really neat experience. When you enter there is a glass bridge while standing on the bridge you are above a field of poppies coming out of dry light brown earth and stark white walls for the background. The bright red poppies really stand out.This is a replica of the trenches that were dug. There are cool maps and diagrams showing the location and length of the awful trenches. This picture doesn't capture the full exhibit of course.

Wade watching a video of this tank actually running! A true tank used in WWI - Wade would remember more details than I.

A Model T - crank and all- It's neat to look at in on the inside too. The wheels sporting wooden spokes.

Oh, so that's what that tower is we always see in Kansas City! We were very impressed with the museum - it has incredible technology and interactive stations. I liked the theater films we watched they really showed more of the "people" and the effects of the war at the time.

This was Kent on his little field trip to the museum! He did really well - what a cutie! That tuque doesn't even fit him anymore..he is growing up so fast! Well it's not needed since it's 90 degree PLUS weather now!
