March, 2012 Aviary Trip

I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from our trip to the Aviary.  

My friend & I took our kids to our Aviary on March 3.  We all had a great time.  Sandy & I saw something for the first time there, which we made sure NONE of the 5 kids saw.  Just saw it involved 3 birds & we did not want to explained what they were doing.  I even took a picture before realizing what they were doing because these birds are so colorful.  I always wondered why there were so many of them.  Now we know why!

This photo I made it in PicMonkey.  I would go check it out.  You can do some cool things to photos there.  Like Sepia.  All free, too.  Sandy & I always have a small photo session with the kids.  It is so much fun.  Picture 5 kids.  Not wanting to do what we want them to do!  We get 4 out of 5 kids do what we need to do then that 1 kid does not listen then the rest follows him or her.  Then we separate to do our own kids.  Here is one of my photos.  Ethan gave up with Ashleigh & Noah not listening!!  I think it was Noah this time.  He just did not want to do anything I said.  Love how Ethan just sat down.  So damn cute!

Ashleigh was tired in this photo.  When I was putting Blessedx3, I realized this photo is great!  I wish Ash was smiling!  The eagles are behind her.  

This photo reminds me of my brother, Matthew.  He does this expression, too!  Matthew, Don't you?

 
When we first came to our Aviary, these penguins Noah loved.  I had to take a picture of Noah with the penguin & one without him.  This day it was only this photo & another one, but I think it was in the same spot, but different expression.  

Ethan had to do it, too, but he picked a shorter penguin!  Too funny!!  

This kid is just too cute!

Shawn loves Eagles.  I do, too.  Each time we go I make sure I get some good shots of them.  

I do not remember this guy last time.  He is beautiful!  I love his colors.

One of the reason we go to the Aviary is for the Penguins.  Noah & Ethan could watch them all day!  I am serious, too.  

It was a great day!  We will be back soon!!  I am hoping I can get some more pictures of the kids, but in a different spot.  I love where I took Ashleigh's photo in front of the eagles.  That was her idea.  I think I will try there & somewhere else.
