We Love Birds... Apparently.

Somewhere in our last weeks of summer me and Trev managed to fit in a few last minute adventures. We had a weekend free so we decided to bring Addisyn, my little sister home with us to play. She is turning 13 in a few weeks, and started junior high this year. I had been having so many mixed emotions about her growing up so fast so I just wanted to steal her away for a few days to myself. I've never met a busier 12 year old so the fact that she fit me in was quite a big deal. The three of us decided to take a trip to the Tracy Aviary in SLC. If birds are going to be exciting to me at all then it's going to be with these two people. We had way too much fun.

The fact that we were matching was not on purpose at all! But it was still kinda fun.  We got to see turkeys and peacocks just roaming around, and I became informed that owls would never make good pets, no matter how tiny and cute they are. We also got to watch the pelican's feeding process which was an experience for all 3 of us!




The aviary had swans that were so pretty! Ever since watching the swan princess as a little girl I've had a love for them knowing they all could be princess's in disguise! Can you believe they are such ugly little ducklings? I couldn't help but just love this little guy. I decided to take it's picture because I felt sure that he doesn't get enough camera time.

After we'd seen all we could at the aviary apparently we couldn't get enough of birds! We took a whole loaf of bread ( it was a bread making disaster loaf) to liberty park and got swarmed by geese. Addi found it hilarious to trail the bread right next to me and watch me scream as they got way too close for comfort.

It was so much fun having her out hang out with us. When I first moved out addi was only 9 and still just a little girl. But since I've been at college for the last 3 years I feel like I've missed the whole process of her getting older. It makes me so sad! But she's amazing, and done very well the last few years without me, so I guess she will be ok =). I have such a great family!
