We spent the morning at the National Aviary. We always enjoy ourselves there, and today was no different. We timed it perfectly, we saw 2 feedings, as well as the "Flights of the North Shore" presentation. I was actually able to help feed. It was pure luck Scott got this picture when he did, but I think it turned out great!
This was actually the 3rd time I've had the kids at the Aviary in the last couple months. We purchased a membership back in March, and we have been trying to go often, to take advantage of the savings. Joshua LOVES the birds, and is always excited to go. It only takes about an hour to walk through, and that includes one or two presentations. Afterwards, if the weather is nice, we'll walk through West Park, and look at the ducks in the pond, and have a picnic lunch. There is also a playground we'll play on before we head back to the car. It is a nice way to spend the morning, and it's perfect for the attention span of a toddler and an infant.
We have a lot of fun things planned for May and June already! We have memberships to the Zoo, Aviary, and Children's Museum, so we'll be spending plenty of time there, I'm sure. We've started our weekly walks in South Park with MoMo, and we are signed up for some fun playgroups and field trips, too.
Scott has relatives who own a farm in Ohio. We'll be making a trip to stay there for a few days, soon. His parents, and Aunt are going to join us, as well. They have cattle, pigs and horses... and most importantly: TRACTORS! Joshua is very excited about the trip. Every morning he asks me if today is the day to go see the tractors. I made a calendar, and every morning we mark off the day before, and count how many more days until we leave for the farm. I'm not sure he actually understands the meaning of time in days or weeks, but he likes to cross off the days.
I'll update again in a week or two - there will be lots to talk about!
