Camping Trip Kanopolis Lake

We decided kinda at the last minute to go camping last week
We drove to Kanopolis Lake
We pretty much had the campground to ourselves
BUT we also found that most of the campsites were reserved for the weekend so we came home on Friday
We had great weather...evenings were nice and cool....but during nite it was almost too cool....I only took one blanket and could have used 2.

MORE TEARS FOR GREAT GRANDMA

Ally the youngest of the great grandkids started "kid in the garden" this year.
She's been wanting to go to school for years and would even cry when the boys would go.
Guess she was up early and ready UNTIL she actually got there.
She says she is fine now....she isn't nervous anymore! ! !
I hope the world is ready for her!

Anniversary Drive and Supper

Yesterday we decided to go for a drive
We drove north towards Hutchinson and found a couple of back roads and found a
wildlife area and then on to Hutchinson and drove by my Sister's old house and then to
Yoder to Carriage Inn for supper to kinda celebrate our 49th Anniversary

TODAY is actually our anniversary but we couldn't do it today because we have to have hamburgers tonite
YES on our wedding nite all we could find open in Pittsburg Ks on a Sunday nite was a drive in...
so we've tried to have hamburgers every year
I'm cooking them tonite :-)

Neighbors Bird

Our neighbor came over this morning and said he had this bird that has been hanging
around his garden and fruit trees for several days.
He just walks around and never seems to want to fly....does not seem to be injured.
SO of course I had to go see and take my camera.
As far as we can tell from our bird books its an immature heron of some kind.

video's from colorado trip


We found a road just south of Gunnison that was straight up....wish I had thot to video going up but at least I did think of it going down.

The video really doesn't show the depth but I think you will get the idea.


This video is on a 4wheel drive road...not as steep but more rocks.

July Trip to Colorado



We decided it would be cooler in Colorado so took off last Monday.
It was cooler but oh my gosh it was busier too

We usually go in spring or fall and now we remember why. July is not the time for retired people to go!

We had a good time but was sure hard to get away from the crowds.
We spent 4 nites at Blue Mesa and 3 nites in Taylor Park

The wildflowers were wonderful and according to husband I photographed them all
