Out of the mouths of our babes...

Greta is taking Spanish, Barrett was testing her knowledge...
Greta: "I'm a Spanish girl."
Barrett: "Oh yeah, how do you say 'letter' in Spanish?"
Greta: (devilish look on her face, eyes go side to side) "I don't know, Gringo."

Raptors!

I took the kids to the Environmental learning center to see some birds of prey. Get ready to learn people!!!

First, the kids....

Greta making her best beak. She got a little bored and needed a lip gloss break.


I bribed him with staying longer if I could take ONE picture. Here it is. "Oh fine, Mom." -Click-



This one is from a few days ago, but I had to throw it in. Here is Greta plotting my eventual nervous breakdown to occur during her teenage years.


Back to the Birds...

Great Horned Owl. This guy has a broken wing that fused at the 'elbow' so he lives in the raptor preserve.

B &G returning from a potty break. The birds got to see the kids pee in the grass, so it was a learning experience for everyone. Luckily we were the only visitors today.


Barrett had a little toy flute, he tried to play the birds songs, to get them to sing back to him. The Bald Eagle did screech, maybe Barrett is an Eagle whisperer.


Greta was able to see on tip-toes!



Turkey Vulture. I'm sure she has a winning personality.



Golden Eagle Female. She was gigantic and beautiful. It made me wonder what else we have in common... (bad joke).

I got this female Bald Eagles' good side. She's missing an eye, after a nasty bout with West Nile Virus a couple years ago. Poor thing.


I love this shot! It's my new desktop background on my computer. I love the squares and lines, and of course the kiddos!
