Thursday, July 9, 2009 - No place like home



Kathy and Chris arrived at Silver Lake last night at around 11 pm.

After two hours of visiting we finally got to bed around 1:30am.

We awoke around 7:30 am and got on the road by 8:30 am.

We drove north on highway 75 to highway 36, then west to Belleville.

On the way to Belleville, we stopped in Home, Kansas where we took pictures.

Our first stop in Belleville was the public library.

Ethan checked out three books and Chris asked directions to the Boyer Gallery.

After lunch at the park by a lake, we went to the Boyer Museum at 1pm.

Paul Boyer comes from a creative, artistic family.

For the past forty years, Paul Boyer has created whimsical men, women and animals animated hundreds of delicate metal wires moved by small electrical motors.

Ethan was inspired to make his own creations.

[Ethan's note--I am going to post pics and videos.I mite sell sume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

At 2:10 we drove north again to I-80.

We drove west on I-80 to Sidney, Nebraska where we camped at the original Cabella's.
