Deep Lake

Sunday we spent a fun time with family friends out at Deep Lake. This is a fantastic park with a lake, play area, trails, field space to run, tables, shelters, etc... We have visited it before but for some reason we just never think to venture out there more - that might have to change. This weekend really reminded us of how great this park really is!

The kids had a great time playing like crazy, taking a nature walk and tinkering around in the water in search of periwinkles... a childhood favorite past time of mine. Good memories there!

For the birds....

The past few days have been loaded with outing including birds! Saturday we visited a local chicken farm with our friends - learned about farming chickens, eggs, local history and more. Not sure if I feel inclined to eat more chicken and eggs or avoid them all together... think I'll give it a bit. Either way, it was very educational and so rare that a child sees where their foods come from. So, a good time!
Last night we had a picnic at the park, took a walk around the local pond, spotted an eagle and fed the ducks. It was a really nice and enjoyable evening!


The eagle giving all the birds a frenzy. Bryan said it looked like he had a duck carcass...


Feeding the ducks with Auntie Sue.. All of the smaller ones are babies, super cute!
