Pitzelpatz was very excited to try pancakes for breakfast! The kids got very excited when she served some "alien pancakes" that were green (or green and orange!)!

Pitzelpatz was very excited to go fossil hunting with the host family! They went to their favorite creek, north of town, where the hot, dry weather has left lots of shale exposed. Sometimes you can find pieces with fossils embedded in them. And, you always find lots of interesting things to see!

In the afternoon, dark clouds swirled in and it rained fiercely, but only for a little while. By the time host mom got out of work, there were only some stray, puffy clouds left.

Today, Pitzelpatz visited the community corrections garden on the town square. It's a series of garden boxes built in a vacant lot and maintained by people who are in community corrections, as a way to help care and give something positive back to their community. Pitzelpatz went searching among the melon plants and found a cantaloupe growing!

It made Pitzelpatz happy to see how all of the gardens are growing, in spite of the summer's tremendous heat wave.

Pitzelpatz had heard from the other TVs that El Charro has fantastic Mexican food. He agreed, and also liked the art work!

Today's road trip included geocaching. The search took us down a bike trail and into the woods. We never did find the cache, but there was some lovely scenery and the TVs enjoyed taking a break on a convenient bench overlooking a creek.

Pitzelpatz went to art lessons at Lydia's today, with the kids. He especially liked her 'foot stool.'

Pitzelpatz had a grand time at the Allen County Fair. He saw some humongous cows, quail, rabbits, and a camel. He appreciated all of the hard work that went into the entries.

Today it hit 112 degrees (44 celcius) and host mom took Pitzelpatz to show him how low the Neosho River has gotten. Pitzelpatz thought the sky looked deceptively innocent and blue over the fields that have roasted in the heat.
