Last week after church we wet for a family drive.
One of the classes at school had gone on a field trip to Whitewater Draw to see the cranes. They said it was amazing. When Sydney was in third grade her class went to see the cranes. Sydney didn't get to go, that was the one day out of the whole year she was sick and missed school. The cranes are here from October until March so we thought it would be a good time to visit since they would be leaving soon.
It was amazing. They had long distance viewer's set up on docks. The girls really enjoyed looking at the Sandhill Cranes up close.
The girls enjoying the Cranes.
There were thousands of them. They were so loud! All the people that were out there were very quiet. The sound of the birds was loud but very cool. There are even a few geese mixed in with all the cranes.
We spent a few hours out on the dock observing. It was a lot of fun. The girls had a great time.
Clay even got to go with us! I think we'll always remember this little family drive. White Water Draw is only about 35 minutes from our house. A perfect little drive for the whole family. It was a neat way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
We set the timer on the camera to get a few pictures. We couldn't hear the click of the picture being taken over the birds or see the light flashing because of the sun. By the look of our faces we weren't real sure it took.
I love this picture! Daddy with his girls. Clay is an amazing Dad and husband and here is a picture to prove it. The girls love it when we get to spend time with Dad. We don't get to spend a ton of time with him, so when we get the opportunity to do so it is always special.
Today is President's Day. No school, dad is off, we'll see what today brings! (That also means we only have 3 days of school this week week woohoo!!)
