January Journaling-Springs Preserve

I have wanted to take the kids to check out the Springs Preserve since we moved here but I'm too cheap to pay $10 to get in. (is that a little pathetic?) Well in January they had a bird show every Saturday and a promotion that adults got in for $4.95. Hayes & Kamri were free so I planned on going some Saturday in January and we ended up barely making it on the last Saturday of January.
Bracken was taking the 14 & 15 year old Scouts he is a leader over on a hike that weekend so we invited Megan and her boys to come along with us since her husband was on the hike as well. We were only there for a few hours, I had to get back to babysit for a friend but the kids had a lot of fun and we didn't even make it to the gardens.

Kamri & Hayes both loved the bird show, especially the African Owl & California Condor. My favorite was when the Raptors would swoop over the top of the crowd. Around the springs preserve, Kamri loved the rabbits and kept sneaking over for a look. We got there a little early and saw some lizards so Hayes was so excited to show Luke when he came exactly where they were. Hayes was running around so enthusiastically about the littlest things it was hilarious. He was disappointed that we didn't have time to go around the gardens so we'll have to make a trip back. We're glad Megan, her two boys and her mom could join us!
