    Unfortunately, my boys have a 4-H District Archery Tournament that day so my oldest son won't be putting any of his birds in the show (yes they officially are his birds). We are bummed as he was looking forward to trying the open class and doing the Fit-n-Show. Their dad will probably take...

    Quote: Oh are the pictures posted? We probably aren't in them since we got there late but would love to see them. On another note... Today we put "meany" in with the other chicks again and it seems to be doing ok. A few of the others put it in its place and it was cowering and we didn't see...

    It was so nice chatting with everyone that made it to the party today. It is nice to put faces to the names we read about here. Sorry we couldn't have gotten there a bit earlier to have chatted more. We would definitely like to get over to see Eagles aviary. Younger DS is somewhat...

    I want to come and Kirkland isn't very far. I have not been able to keep with the Washington thread (I do better with stuff that comes to my inbox than online forums unfortunately) so I hope it is OK that I didn't keep in touch earlier this year and can still come. Was it ever decided about...
