Guess what!!!...time to watch the eagles :) here  is the decorah eagles  (iowa) nest. they have been busy building up the nest. we've seen them bring in lots of big branches and get them in the perfect spots! the second, berry college eagles, has two eggs already! they were laid last..thursday i believe?
they boys have been playing eagle's nest (this spawned checking on the nests) in the front room with the couch coushins(nest) and shawls (wings).

grandma mary says to me "i got charlie a gun that shoots fireworks..."   after an"excuse me" and "did you really just say 'a gun that shoots fireworks?!", turns out that this "gun" projects fireworks on the wall/ceilings! and even provides the sounds of them! this worked excellent with the national anthem performance! good find grandma!
