A Day with the Birds

Yesterday was sort of warmish (there was sun) so we ventured off to the World Bird Sanctuary, which we'd never been to before. It was a perfect outing- not too much walking for me, but enough for the kids to run around as much as they needed to.
 The kids loved playing eagle chicks in the life-sized eagle's nest.
 And measuring up to the California Condor.
 They thought these pelicans were pretty funny.
Benjamin checking out the owls and hawks they had on leashes.
 There were a ton of bald eagles there. They really are cool looking birds.
 And of course we had to stop at every photo op to put our faces in.
 This morning, I got out some giant boxes we had sitting in the basement and told the kids to make them into their own toy worlds with roads, lakes, or whatever they wanted.  It was messy, but I think they had fun with it.
 And we didn't have to go anywhere to do it. :)
