The Smooch

Well, the boys had their newspaper debut this weekend in The Kansas City Star. Their photo was taken while visiting The Kansas City EarthFest and EarthWalk - the big Earth Day event I plan every year. Below is the picture that ran in the paper. The second one with cousin Andrew, posted on www.kansascity.com, is the one that should have been printed. Priceless!

Out "trash fishing" at the Keep Kansas City Beautiful booth are, from left, Logan Nachtrab of St. Charles, Mo., 4, and his cousins, brothers Jack, 4, and Alex, 1, Barland, of Lenexa. In addition to "cleaning up the pond," kids learn about recycling as well. The Kansas City EarthFest was held at The Theatre in the Park at Shawnee Mission Park, Shawnee, Apr. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
