My Hometown

We spent the weekend in my little hometown of Caldwell, Ks. and when I say little I mean little. The population is only 1500 people. Caldwell has a lot of history and has been a town since 1871. Here is my hometown:

How many towns have the Ornate Box Turtle painted on the side of a building?? I think just one because we are the ones who fought to get that turtle to be the state reptile and was successful.

I am sure not many towns have fake cowboys on top of buildings!!

My children and nieces

My dad had a big metal detecting hunt and we were in charge of feeding them. We were VERY busy!!

Finding treasure???

I can not believe we even had a cake with a metal detector on it.

This morning was the cattle drive. It started in Caldwell with around 200 cattle.

I had fun but I am glad that I am back in the city with a Starbucks and a Target right around the corner.
