MK Nature Center

Last Saturday we went to the MK Nature Center where they had an event for kids on migratory birds. Ava even got to see a live owl and a hawk up close (handled by a guy giving a presentation).

But before we went there we took the dogs (we are dog-sitting) for a walk at the school near our house.

Ava at the playground

Ava and “Momma” – she has been calling Jenn “Momma” a lot lately instead of Mommy.

She looks so old to me in this picture.

Ava loved getting a crane painted on her face and showing it off

Lots of wildlife to see.

Fish under the bridge (trout)

And fish viewing windows that Ava loved:

We even saw a blue heron up close!

Ava LOVES bugs, here she is catching ants to hold them

Ava bird watching (yes the binoculars are backwards AND upside-down)

Ava holding a real (stuffed) wood pecker. She wanted to “fly it”.

All in all, a very fun day!

Farley’s Hair Cut

Spring is here and that means it’s time for Farley’s annual shaving!

She may look a little silly, but our floors and bed have almost no hair at all!

Afterwards we took Farley for a swim in the Boise River. Ava enjoyed catching bugs, playing in the sand, and blowing on dandelions that have gone to seed. She calls them “blow flowers”.
