Happy Valentine's Day!

The kids have had a great Valentine's Day. On Friday, the 13th (didn't even think about that until way past- no bad luck here!) we had a Valentine's party with our homeschool group. The kids had a blast exchanging valentines, playing with friends, and eat chocolate dipped strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows, and so one. I love how they can spend hours pouring over the cards long after the candy is gone.

Valentine's morning Nyah came in early to wake me up and tell me Valentine didn't bring her anything--for whatever reason I think she was thinking there's someone like the Easter Bunny of Santa for Valentine's Day. When I told her our family would exchange valentines later she looked so puzzled. Here is a picture of all 4 of them happily playing and laughing together, early Valentine's morning.

In the afternoon we went to the Timpanogos Monument Visitor's Center for a Kids in Nature program, featuring Birds of Prey. The kids had a great time and were amazed at the many birds we were able to see. I'll be posting more pictures of the birds of prey at my homeschool blog. We plan on visiting in the summer to go through the cave. If anyone wants to come let me know what weekend you'll come visit and we can go together.

Austin has the wing span of a Turkey Vulture.

Nyah also has a wingspan of a Turkey Vulture.

I don't remember Olivia's, and her head is covering the bird name, but it looks like a Falcon or Hawk.

Beautiful even covered with snow!
