Elephants on the loose.......... in Wakeeney!!!!!

I thought since we had some members of the family in Wakeeney, Kansas earlier this week that it would be fun to post this. There is a circus in town in Wakeeney and just a few hours ago a storm went through the town and caused the main tent to be blown down. Well, that spooked the elephants and they got loose and were seen running down the street!!! Hence the title of this about elephants on the loose. Hope you enjoy the laugh!

Mom said...: Such fun timing of events with Chris and the escaping elephants!
Thanks for sharing.; June 6, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Christopher said...: I didn't do it! It didn't happen on my watch!
How ironic though--we got a good laugh!
Quite a storm went through the night we were there--Tuesday the 3rd.; June 7, 2008 at 12:44 AM

Movie Reviews

New In Town - a very cute movie with morals (we don't see enough of those anymore). There is a little language and one slightly questionable scene, but a lot of good, clean humor as well. -- April
The Express -- This is a great movie. A lot like Remember the Titans in how moving it is. It reminds us how our country used to be and where we never want to return to. I wish that all could see it, but there is a more language than necessary. That's how they ruin a lot of movies nowadays. - Andrew
Kit Kittredge -- great casting, fun story, and completely family friendly! Definitely worth seeing - I might even buy it. --April
Get Smart---Well, Hollywood does it again. Takes a fun TV program and turns it into stupid movie. Be smart and don't waste your money and time. Could easily be fun and funny. Too much trash talk and "crudity" to be enjoyable. Casting good, though.--Mom
Hancock - Not so much. Lots of language and a weird, disjoint plotline. Good idea... but poorly executed. :o) - Ami
Baby Mama -- Very cute story line with lots of humor. Slight crude humor, but not nearly as much as I was prepared for..?? Brenda would like it!! --Ami
Wall-E -- really cute and fun! -- April
The Golden Compass--Not that great of a movie, but it was your classic good vs. evil. This movie, no matter how hard I tried to read into it, had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with abandoning religion and children on a quest to kill God. Brenda
Cyanara, Naum Chomsky--Incensed by the famed writer, linguist, and philosopher's wholesale rejection of metaphor a washed up gun-for-hire-turned-poetic transcendentalist sets out to wax the unfortunate icon. Along the way, he does battle with various blade-weilding ninjas, cannibal tribes, and swashbuckling game show hosts. There's also a really fun scene with a fire-breathing llama and a box of jelly donuts and a heart-warming moment involving a family of Irish immigrant midgets. Stars Alan Alda and that one guy from the movie about the people from the country where they make HAM radios (or maybe it was just hams). Anyway, this movie really delivers. (But good luck getting your hands on a copy.)
Kung Fu Panda -- A great fun movie!! You will roll with laughter throughout the movie. It's great for the kids to enjoy, you should too! Definitely one for the library. -- Andrew
