Activities

We had such a fun time with our cousins! They invited us to join them on many of the cool things they do daily. One of which was go to Tracy Aviary. It has changed dramatically from what I remember as a kid. It was incredible, maybe it helped having a personal bird expert with us, my niece Emily is amazing!

She taught us all sorts of facts and sounds to listen for. She influenced David so much he now wakes up every morning and runs to sit on our deck with binoculars and watch for birds checking them off in his bird book, looking up the sounds they make and identifying them that way.

We were able to feed birds from our hands, give a dollar to a crow and it put it in a box, and go to some bird shows to see some amazing birds in action. Like the above Emu.

Bridget had more fun playing and running around with her new buddy Garrett.

They also let us join them for horse lessons. David was excited for his ride on the horse to the stable. Em didn't convince him that horses were as great as birds though.

We also had to stop by and get hair cuts. For some reason Allison will only go to this shop to get her haircut. Bridget had her first cut done this trip. Here she is before.

and after!
