We are visiting my parents this week. Just take a look at all the fun:
Sunday we went to the circus.
Baby Sis stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa.
The big girls had a big time.
They both said the horses were their favorite part of the show.
Monday we went to the local nature center.
We saw turtles and snakes. Owls, vultures, a hawk, an eagle (I’ll never get over how beautiful those birds are). Whitetail deer, fallow deer, wolves, a coyote, a bobcat, a groundhog, and an opossum (this one had all four of his legs and an intact tail, unlike our friend under our deck). I think these guys were the favorite:
Each time I made my (pathetic) turkey gobble call sound they would all puff up and gobble really loudly all together. They were so loud they scared the crap out of the girls, who thought it was quite hilarious.
We’ve been reading a gazillion books and going to story time with Grandma.
We’ve been flying kites and playing outside.
We’ve had lots of running outside. I love watching them run.
Being outside (without full snow suit attire) has been nice for all of us. There’s something about feeling the wind in your hair that is good for the soul.
They’re having ice storms where we live, so we’re taking full advantage.
Sun, warmth, and Grandma and Grandpa. Doesn’t get any better than that.
