Take Me Out To The Ball Game-The Missoula Osprey

Another great place to visit on our virtual tour of Montana. The Missoula Osprey Base Ball Team.


Our semi-pro baseball team is a wonderful, fun attraction for locals and tourists:-D This is our mascot (he's an osprey.)

Some of the folks at our church decided it would be fun to do a barbecue and baseball game. They were right!

This is Don having a great time with Steve and Steve!



Then we all danced to YMCA, lol, led by the Osprey mascot.

Oh yes, we do have fun in Missoula:-D


Three of our younger members were invited to lead the singing of the traditional, Take Me Out To The Ball Game!


What is there to do in this town? Visit the Osprey and see a real osprey nest (lived in too.) This pole was installed to lure the river hawk to the stadium. The osprey is a bird that lives near rivers, fishes, and builds nests all over the area on tall poles like the one in the distance here. We watched them fly around the park throughout the game as if they were rooting for the home team.

Hey, thanks for visiting today. Come back soon:-D

this is neat our pastor at our church was out and took a walk and he was by a river I think it was. He said he was there just kind of spending time with God when all of a sudden this bird he's never seen before swoop down from a tall tree and dove right into the water and snatched a fish. He said it happened so fast and he never seen this bird before, so he looked it up and it was a Osprey, he said that was the only time he's ever seen that bird. He felt like God was trying to show him something about that bird and then when he understood what God was showing him then he gave the message about it, so we heard that message on tuesday night...pretty cool Sonyia :)

A tour of Montana.... I live in Central Montana and was sooooo excited to find this site! As a fellow Montanan... we all know that this big sky country is a gift from God. Another gift is the blessing of good writers like Robin Reynolds - she has an inspirational book that is a FAMILY BOOK! Max, a dog from the shelter gets adopted... and through his life... he helps humans understand and integrate into our own value system. FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT like this is rare and far between. Share this with your chruch.... it will be a highlight of your summer! :)
