We headed out for a morning visit to see the eagles nesting, but had to stop first and get filled up on donuts. :-) Dad had tried to go see the eagles yesterday while Pete and I were at work and the kids were at school, since he was at the house with nothing to do, but the minute he stepped outside the restaurant he was eating breakfast at, it starting pouring down rain. So, he just came home. I think that was God's way of giving him the chance to see them with his grandkids. :-)
Dad said he prayed last night (and I prayed on the way there), that he would see them. And, thankfully God said YES! We got there and there was only one other guy there, so we had nearly the entire viewing balcony to ourselves. They were up in the trees and flying around. Even saw one with a fish in his mouth. So cool!!
We brought both sets of binos and they had the viewers there. The guy that was there also had a scope on one of the eagles in the trees and let us look through it.
It was very, very cold, so we kind of would take turns going outside and then inside to see them. Madie liked being out there with her Papa.
So did Noah. :-)
Livie was very cold and very cranky, so she didn't stay out there long, but she looked through that man's scope to see the eagles a couple of times. She liked that part.
Before we left, Dad got the kids a bird call book that has 100 different kinds of birds in it and a thing you push to hear their bird calls. The kids loved it! It was great to see dad excited about something he's never gotten to see or experience and getting to share that with us was a bonus! He loved sharing his excitement with the kids and have them get excited with him. It was a good morning!
