22/365...2011 HOOT HOOT

This evening we finally left our house for the day!  Savannah was much better and a happier little girl.  Late this afternoon she helped clean her playroom and was excited to go to Walter Jacobs Park to see the Owls!

It was nice to meet up with many friends and their children.  It was a beautiful, crisp cold night to walk the nature paths.  We saw two of the three owls.  One was  Screech Owl and the other was Barred Owl.  I loved the Screech Owl because it was so small.  I think Eric and Savannah liked the large Barred Owl because we have two of these in trees at our home. Savannah wants a Screech Owl that she can pet and tickle! 

Inside the building we saw many other cool things!  (Bee Hive, numerous snakes, soft shell turtle and other preserved native animals.  They even served us coffee, hot cocoa and cookies!  Savannah says none of the animals scared her.  She is a real outdoor girl who loves crunching thru the leaves as she holds a lantern to light her way down the path! 

It was a great family evening and a great end to the past 24 hours that had not been near as fun!  HOOT HOOT!
