Going to Carthage


Sunday, January 16, 2011

We went over to Keokuk to the Eagle celebration and this is what we did. It was held in a local mall with a few stores and they set up booths. In the threater they had 4 live birds; two eagles, falcon and a vultur. The falcon flew over our head in the room. Outside the show, as you can see, they had a bird who took your donation and put it in a box.

We also saw the indians from the area dance. Here is a Cheokee Indian. They wear turbins instead of feathers.

We also went to the riverside and looked through the spotter telescope to see ealges. We saw some flying over the bridge but the one through the spotter was just sitting on a branch across the river. We have eagles in Nauvoo and they sit on the ice and wait for a fish to appear. We don't have a lot of time to go looking at them, but one of these mornings we are going to the river to see them fish.

We went with the Gammons and the Ords. We went out to a mexican resturant on the way home in Hamilton. It was a fun day.
