the park so well!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures we took at Kaw Point Park below. \u00a0You can click on the panorama picture in order to see it in more detail. \u00a0And, sorry about the shaded areas on the artist rendering, couldn&#8217;t adjust where the sun was!<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacSpinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 40px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacSpinner > div{\r\n\t\t\t  background-color: #333;\r\n\t\t\t  height: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t  width: 6px;\r\n\t\t\t  display: inline-block;\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation: rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eac-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t  animation: rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eac-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect2 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect3 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect4 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacSpinner .rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect5 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@-webkit-keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eac-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4) }  \r\n\t\t\t  20% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0) }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eac-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t  }  20% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t  }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style><div class=\"robo-gallery-wrap robo-gallery-wrap-id6674 robo-gallery-\" ><div id=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eac-block-loader\" class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacSpinner\"><div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect1\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect2\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect3\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect4\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacRect5\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rbs_gallery_button  rbs_gallery_align_left\" id=\"rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eacfilter\" style=\" display: none;\" ><a class=\"button button-flat-primary button-large  \" href=\"#\" data-filter=\"*\">All<\/a><\/div><div id=\"robo_gallery_main_block_rbs_gallery_69e5ae54d3eac\" class=\"robogallery-gallery-6674\" style=\"width:100%;
