a dad & his daughter

 

late last summer we went to lagoon with the kids.  amelia did a little bit of waiting the whole day since she was still a little too short to go on some of the rides.  once, while we were waiting for the older kids to finish a ride they were on, amelia asked her daddy to win her the blue shark.  i don't remember how much money nathan ended up spending to finally get the ball in the correct hole, but i do know that was not the point.  the look on her face was priceless! 

mother son night 2012

each year, the kids' elementary school sponsors a mother son night. this year they invited a man who takes care of and trains birds of prey.  he told us about 4 different birds, a harris hawk, awhite bird - i don't remember the name ans i didn't get a picture, a great horned owl and a golden eagle.  all very cool, expecially when he let the harris falcon fly around and it swooped at my head.

this is the harris hawk

the great horned owl

the golden eagle

after the activities at the school, we went to arctic circle for some food and shakes!  we had a great time.
