Great Backyard Bird Count
Today we counted the following birds: American Robin, Dark-Eyed Junco, American Goldfinch (76 at once!!!), European Starling, Downy Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, Cardinal, Purple Finch, Blue Jay, and Red-Shouldered Hawk. We even went for a drive and saw many Bald Eagles. It was a great time.
The bird feeder pics were taken in our backyard. The eagle pics were taken in Stella, MO today on our drive.
Geocaching, February 13, 2010
We recently started geocaching and what fun it is! Here we are with our first geocache. It was hidden outside a cave, on the side of a steep hill, in Joplin, MO.
The second cache we found that day was hidden in a shotgun shell. BANG! was the clue. Ben found it and was very happy.

Our Favorite Tree
The picture you see on the top of the page was taken in Olathe, Kansas at Mahaffie Park. This is the greatest tree for climbing and exploring. If you live in Olathe...visit the tree every season.
