Kansas City Getaway

If you look real hard on the right side you can see the birds!


At the park, with Tia Vicky and Tio Guerrero, finding shells! Go figure in KC?


KC watertower, this is right by the Royals stadium and Cabelas and Great Wolf Lodge


Carmen and Flor hanging in the hot tub. It was nice and not to hot!

Last weekend we hopped in the suburban and headed to KC to visit Genaro's cousin that he had not seen in 6 years. It was nice, warm and toasty! We did not plan on the weather being so nice and so we all were sweating a bit. The kids and I cooled off a bit in the pool at the hotel though. Saturday we went to a state park and let the kids run before getting back in the car and heading home. On the way home right outside St. Joe Missouri, in a place called Mound City, there were 1000's of geese. The sky looked like an etch-a-sketch. The kids kept calling out the shapes they were making. It was incredible to watch. In one field a different group of birds lifted off and made a black cloud that moved up and down and swirled. Such an incredible sight of nature. I think that was my favorite part of the trip! Looks like a weekend trip to Squaw Creek Wildlife Refuge to see this spectacular again. On their website it said that their was a 1.2 million snow geese count and 50,000 duck count that weekend that we passed through. Again incredible!
