lake earth day

The lake events are always a hit, and they went big on the earth day fun around here. The highlight was the boat tour around the lake (which both the boys did not seem as excited about but tolerated). Everyone has these party barges and one even had a huge pergola and wisteria vines. This was our first jaunt out on the open water where we spotted turtles, fish, and a very rare sighting of a great horned owl during the day. After the boat cruise, we caught most of the raptor show, where we saw three more owls and hawks up close and personal. The tiny screech owl was adorable. Then Aiden enjoyed seeing the dead fish on display, me not as much... Aiden assured me he didn't touch the slimiest ones. I preferred the tables talking about energy and the NASA giveaways.
