Our friend M invited us to CWES today, an environmental station near our town. It was 32 degrees which felt like a heat wave compared to earlier in the week.

Just a few years ago, I too, use to travel the state giving programs with non-releasable birds of prey, so sometimes it can be difficult watching others' programs thinking how I would or did it differently. I told the girls today that I use to do this and they were surprised. It amazes me how little they know about my past life. I better get going in educating them about Mom- pre-kids.

the threesome
we did alot of this, tightening the straps...it takes patience teaching kids outdoor adventures, but it does payoff in the long run
Tuki tired, so M carried her back to the lodge

Haha my kids are really bad about my "previous life" but my boys were the same way, I think it's just a kid thing. Still, it's good to educate them, they do need to somehow realize they are not the epicenter of the universe, lol
