Bald Eagle

This morning Quint woke up talking about the little train.

I knew he meant the little "kid" train in our local park which runs in the summer.

We looked at it on the internet but I explained it is not open yet.

I guess because we don't currently have any snow,

he thought it should be open.

On our way home this morning he asked to drive by it.

It is a small detour so I agreed.

We drove into the park,

it was slightly flooded from snow melt,

deserted

and all the rides were closed up.

I showed Quint and Russell.

Hard to believe in a few months it will be full of people in shorts.

As we drove out I saw a bird on the frozen pond

It was a bald eagle.

I wish I had my camera

The boys and I sat and looked at it.

They are majestic

A special treat to Iowa I suppose.

I am far from a nature person, but it was kinda cool.

It reminded me of my Grandma and her bird book

She does like nature...and birds:)
