kai's summer fun pick was going to an aviary. he notices birds a lot and is very interested in them. we picked up our cousin lily, and spent an afternoon at tracy aviary. it has changed a lot since i was a kid, much cleaner and nicer than i remember. we saw a bird show, ate popsicles and hunted down a finch for kai. he did not want to leave without seeing a finch. done and done!




when we were having a bathroom break, we noticed some of the most exciting birds we saw that day...a nest in the corner with a bunch of tiny babies. the mom kept bringing them worms and we could see their necks and beaks stretching for the food. i love this picture because lily is loving abe. abe has a few cousins that have sort of crushes on him. he takes it all in stride.

we ended our adventure at the wading rivers at the park. the kids loved making boats out of what ever they could find, and following them down the rivers. thanks kai for the great pick!!!
