SNOW FINALLY

Well we finally have more then a dusting of snow!! But Charlie doesn't want to go out and play.  He Said he would wait till next winter. I told him next winter is a long time from now and he said he understood that. But he was going to draw a picture of himself playing in the snow.

 Here's his picture:

Picture's from a walk I took this Past Tuesday....

These were taken in Winfield , MO at the Lock and dam public access area.  When I arrived I was not in the best of moods and had looked around it was cloudy, windy and misty. I thought about leaving but then thought to myself i drove all this way and i am going to enjoy a nice walk even if I don't get see or  take a single picture of an eagle. Well I walked down a little dead in trail that I always have good luck on and seen eagle Number one sitting in the tree. That made me happy yeah i had seen many more in the same spot and here sat just one but it is always such an amazing sight to me. He was not skidsh and just sat looking at me as I took picture's and told him how beautiful he was and thanking him for making my walk wonderful. The wind was picking up and I had left my jacket in the car so i headed back to the car to head home. But then when I got to the car I decided I was not ready to head home yet so I head down the walkway that runs atop of the levee. I seen an older couple who were walking their dogs and a couple of ladies who were enjoying a walk. Then a older gentleman  who was out jogging. I guess he seen my camera and said to me " Up in the little inlet is a eagle sitting on the ice."   Knowing that the older couple and the ladies were ahead of me and not wanting to lose the chance to get some picture's of the an eagle sitting on the ice, I start running and get ahead of them explaining as I go by why, I now have my coat and am hot so I take it off and Drop it in the huge rocks that make up the levee and keep moving so I can get the picture's.  When I get close i start walking again and stopping to take picture's as a progress closer and closer. I a taking picture and the other people on the trail are hanging back because they don't want to cause the eagle to take off (Thank You!) But after i get some shoots i say to the ladies who are close enough to hear me that they can keep walking and they say we didn't want to scare him. I tell them that even if they do then I get some nice taking off in flight picture's. Well all of the sudden the eagle takes off,  does a circle and the swoops down and snags a fish of of the water!! And the best part I got it all!! Which is some  of the picture's a always dreamed of getting:  a eagle catching a fish, flying with a fish in talon's  and dining on his catch!   My mood was great after my walk!!  When I got home I played it low key while Chaz and I ate lunch.  Then once I could get my picture's down loaded I showed them to him and let my excitement flow!!  I am so very proud of these picture's!

Proud Momma!

Oh after the Epic fail, I also had a very proud Momma moment at the Zoo.  A man was 

pushing a cart with almost empty water bottles' on it,  they were poorly stacked 

and rolled off. Guess who rushed in to help? My Little Man!! And not only 

did he help the man pick them up once but he did it twice! Santa you better of seen that!! 

Bad video of Charlie helping the second time. We had walked a ways up 

the path and he heard them fall again and ran back to help.

Boo at the Zoo

As always they have the best Trunk or Treat!!  The first year the had a DJ and activities indoors Balloon man, face panting  fresh baked cookies.... Last year they had added shaved ice truck but since it was s clod they also served hot cocoa. Then this year they add Techno Bubbles and a photo booth!

Kansas City

 Last weekend we joined some friends for a weekend in KC. First we visited Cocoa Key indoor water-park, then Lego Discovery Center and Sea Life Aquarium . It was  great fun filled weekend!

WOW!!, I really need to blog!!

It's been way too long! So i will try and get caught up with Posting some picture's and stuff soon!! But I had to share this....

Epic Fail at the Zoo today.... It was Boo at the Zoo Day, Trick or Treating around the Zoo. Well "Santa" was there,  I believe at Eckert's booth. We walked by and Charlie says to me Can't I tell him what I want. I said yes,  so we go back to talk to "Santa" He is talking to Charlie and I of course snap a few picture's and then" Santa" bends over and his bread falls off. Charlie gets a very disappointed look on his face and says to me "What a huge phony, Thanks not the real Santa.:" I thought he was going to cry. It was the first time he ever asked or wanted to actually talk to Santa!

Before the field trip...

We grew peanuts!!

 Back in the spring Great Aunt Nila had some raw peanuts and Charlie asked if he could have some to plant she gave him some and we planted them. Yesterday we decided to check and see if we had grown any peanuts and we had! Charlie was so excited that they had actually grown!
