Aviary Part 1

My children have been corrupted…a tree tells them “oh look, a photo shoot opportunity!”

We did eventually get them INTO the Aviary though…and saw the Pelicans…

Read about the birds as we went…

Saw some of our favorites like these totally awesome ducks…love the coloring.

Regular old birds…

Oh that one is cute…

Yep, it’s a Kookaburra

Not so very cute.

Also not so cute, but poses anyway.

The one who likes to share their mice with us…

Moving on…

These were pretty cool looking too…

Then we went inside the little area where they are all just walking around…

Saw the ones that like to bite you there. lol

Oh look, doesn’t he look familiar…

Flamingos!!

Faucet…

Flowers…

Okay, what now??

Random

I try and go back through pictures after a couple of months, because I will often realize that I missed a good one the first time. Or that there is one that I really like that I didn’t before. Or I will realize that one is a lot better than I realized at the time! (Like if I am exhausted from editing 6,240 pictures and they are day 8 of those…)

These were some of those…I hadn’t realized how cool these were! These ones will definitely be on the wall later.

Reading with Grandpa…

Reading…

Reading and playing…

Passed out…with her microphone.

Winter weather…

A photography book…

Fall leaf art…

Listening to Black Beauty while dinner gets cooked…

Salem lake/pond…

Foster’s cabin when we were up there helping Dad. He was up there working by himself and we were up there just in case, for safety purposes.

Reading a little…

There is a MOOSE on this pillow!!!!

Playing on the stairs…

Which Sadi found hilarious…

This child was in a weird mood…

I am not sure why they were trying to pull me over… lol

Playing on the carpet…

Laying on the couch looking out the window….and then being super flexible.

“It’s time to leave…”

Quick stop at Grandma and Grandpa from the cabin’s cabin…before heading home.
