We've been having a lot of adventures on the weekends lately. It's so nice to be out enjoying the cool weather, the wonderful migratory waterfowl, and crisp air. We went to Sutter's Fort in Sacramento this weekend. It was nice, although the boys weren't very into things there. Mr. Geek and I had to work hard to keep them interested. I suppose they are a bit young for that sort of thing, and they haven't been feeling well. It has sparked Rob's interest in "how things used to be." He's been asking for more and more information all weekend about "the old days when they didn't have plugs." Haha. It's hard for him to even fathom it, even though he has been camping and things like that. It may be time to find some historical fiction books from long ago and read them.
We stopped by Vic Fazio on the way home to do the auto tour and catch a glimpse of some birds. We saw a lot of shovelers and coots. Our very nice sighting was a burrowing owl, but it was a fair distance off, too far for my camera even. I remember seeing a bittern last time we were there, but no such luck this time.
Today we went to Tilden and visited the Little Farm and walked out to and around Jewel Lake. We saw some bufflehead and a merganser out there, which is a nice sighting. It's always fun to see the animals at the farm. The boys had such a good time watching the geese, chickens and turkeys. I took some fun pics of them there.
I can't believe the kids only have 4 more days a school, and just a few days after that it's Christmas! Where has the time gone??!! It's almost 2008!!
