Oh Well

I did not quit facebook. But I will scale back my time spent there. I will!

For MLK Day we thought about how we would like to "leave our handprint" on the world. Eaden has been wanting to help the homeless for some time now, so that is what she said. Naia wants to plant flowers and vegetables which we will be doing soon enough!

While Eaden was at gymnastics I took Taven and Naia to meet Aidan at the Arboretum. See! I am having REAL face time! There wasn't too much activity, but I did manage to get this picture of a Large Orange Sulphur on a Camellia.

Even though Eaden did not get to come with us on our walk, I showed her the picture. She made a page for the "Animal" section in her notebook.

After picking Eaden up from gymnastics we went to the store and bought some snacks we thought homeless people might like to have. We made bags for them and the kids are eager to hand them out. They did whine a bit about wanting to eat the snacks themselves, of course, but came around in the end. Eaden even made rubber band bracelets for all of the bags.

On Wednesday, we decided to check out a new place, Sheldon Lake State Park (new to us). We got lost and got in a wreck! We were lucky to have only minor damage to our car. After driving around looking for the place for...forever...we made it! Our visit started off great because we immediately saw a Great Blue Heron (no picture), many White Ibis, Great Egrets, and more!

But our most awesome moment was spotting this Osprey!

 The park had a really neat observation tower!

 Next time we must remember binoculars!

We are planning on bundling up and staying in for the next couple of days as freezing rain is expected!
