Siemens Facility in Hutchinson, KS

Posted on July 23, 2011 by under Things to Do.    

We got to tour the Siemens USA wind turbine nacelle assembly facility in Hutchinson, KS the other day. It was really cool. You know that show Modern Marvels on the History Channel? I felt like I was in one of those episodes.

Swimming with the Cole Fam

Kind of glad that tot’s night got canceled because then we were able to get in some pool time with the Cole fam. Carolyn seemed to have a lot of fun getting tossed back and forth like a basketball by mommy and daddy. She was getting a lot of air and it freaked me out a little, but Gina and Coley managed to catch her every time. Whew!

This is my favorite underwater pic of Gina because her hair is going everywhere! LOL.

The water temperature was just right and the weather was perfect. It was late enough in the day that it wasn’t too hot outside. I’ll have to remember that Friday nights are good nights to go swimming because we have the pool to ourselves.

One Semester of Spanish – Love Song

Posted on July 11, 2011 by under Things to Do.    

We took a break on Monday for the holiday, but we were back at Spanish Horizons again today to learn some more EspaƱol. I’m not fluent yet, but I’m hoping that I will be before long. At least I know how to count past ten, unlike the guy in the video above. Then again, our numbers in Bisaya are the same as they are in Spanish so it’s not really anything new. LOL.

For those of you who want to learn how to speak Spanish, Spanish Horizons is conducting a couple of free sessions on August 6, 2011 as a fundraising event for Partners for Wichita. There will be two 45-minute learning sessions held that Saturday. The 1 PM session is “Survivor Spanish” – ideal if you are traveling or just want to know the basics. The 2 PM session is “Spanish on the Street” – which will focus more on more informal Spanish speaking skills.

Alejandro’s will provide chips and salsa. I think margaritas will be served also. This is a free event for those who are donating school supplies (cash donations are also welcome), but space is limited so registration is required. If you are interested, please remember to register on the Spanish Horizons web site!
