Ogden Nature Center.

Since the boys didn't have school last Thursday and Friday we went to the Dinosaur park one day with some friends and the Ogden Nature Center the other day. It was a beautiful day and a great chance to be outside and see some great stuff.
Here the boys are standing in front of a bald eagle. Parker is in awe as you can tell. All the birds and animals they have there are rescued animals and all of the birds were injured and cannot fly. We loved seeing the bald eagle and golden eagle. We even got to watch several of the birds including an owl eat some mice. Just what boys love to see!
Standing by Arrowhead Pond.
Mataya had a rough week not feeling good, sleeping good, and being clingy. I held her a lot of the time.
We stopped to see this furry little black caterpiller. Spencer touched it and then squealed with delight.
Walking over to the bird blind.
Checking out the birds.

Inside the teepee.
I let the boys get a bird at the gift shop. Parker's was attacking his ear or telling him a secret.

There were lots of great bird houses that people had made and they were all along the path. This one was the Nut House. I feel like I live there sometimes;)
The Ogden Temple birdhouse.
We started posing their birds in the birdhouses and took some pictures. We got a kick out of it!
Mataya got a bouncy ball at the gift shop and it's in the bottom of the picture there. She didn't want the birds to be having all the fun so her ball made it into a couple pictures.

Fun times. I had fun with the kids while they had a break from school. They make life pretty grand:-)
