    Bird Watching

    The Youth of the Park 4th Ward went bird watching today. Special thanks to Nicole Holland who leant us her expertise. I took some pictures, they aren’t very good, but it was fun to try.

    Bird Island II

    I really wanted to get in one more sail boat outing before winter set in.  And so when the opportunity to go sailing presented itself on Saturday I jumped at the chance.  Even better, most of the Earl crew decided that they wanted to go with me.  KaeLynn (my wife) doesn’t like small boats.  Of…
