| "And she's here with me, too!" "Good one, Cam!" |
Dad drove and Mom rode shotgun. I navigated from the backseat.
At first we took this kind of road:
 |
| Hey! It's hay! on I70W |
... then this kind of road:
 |
| Highway 156S |
We made a pitstop in the town of Ellinwood. Here I am, striking a pose:
 |
| "Ha roo, people of Ellinwood!" |
From there, we took this kind of road:
 |
| Mom has no idea what road this is. It's something heading south. Two lanes, no shoulder. See why I'm the navigator and not her? Yeah. |
 |
| "I can't even look." "No worries, Cam! I know exactly where we're going!" |
And I did! Know where we were going, that is. This was our next turn!
 |
| YAY! Quivira NWR! |
Our first stop inside Quivira was at the place in the photo we showed you yesterday! That photo was from the last time we went; here's one from yesterday:
 |
| The road down to the Kid's Fishing Pond |
We didn't stop to fish for kids, we got back into our HR-V and headed into the refuge!
 |
| The road through Quivira NWR |
It was an awesome trip, and Mom saw more birdies she's never seen before ("lifers"). It'll take her a while to process through all of her photos, but we'll share them eventually! We had lots of fun, saw lots of birdies and other wildlife, and it was a beautiful family fun day!
On the way back, we stopped in Ellinwood again. Here's Cam checking out a huge tree:
 |
| "Oh, fascinating messages left here! Just fascinating!" |
Something for everyone on the trip! Speaking of something for everyone ...
 |
| "I see you have a sandwich, Mom ... look into my eyes ..." |
While I focused on Mom, Cam spotted Dad out the side window - also having a sandwich. Fear not --- we scored off of BOTH of them! Awesome!
 |
| "That's a wrap for today! Isn't it, Maggie? Maggie?" "I want to go back and see more birdies. Maybe have another bite of sandwich..." |
Oh. Right. Sorry. That IS a wrap for today. Thanks for joining us on our trip to Quivira! More to come!
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher

Looks like you two had a great time on your trip. We can't wait to see more birdies that you found.
ReplyDeleteWe have no idea how your peeps are able to navigate without your help Maggie. Thank Cod your mom remembered sandwiches at least! We're glad you had a fun adventure!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun and tiring trip
ReplyDeleteYou all go on such fun adventures! I love the first pic of you two in the backseat. Yay for Mom that she got to see some lifers.
