There was Animal Jam playing.

There was lego Hero Factory building and rebuilding.

There was knitting.

We went to the Tracy Aviary and saw lots of birds as well as things to climb on and spin and read.

There were pelicans having fish.

And flamingos in swirling white waters.

We climbed giant bones.

We measured our wingspans.

And  much more.

After we finished exploring the aviary, we had a snack in the car and decided to play at the playground in the park surrounding the aviary.  There was climbing and hide and seek and sliding and musical exploration.

After we came home the kids watched The Triplets of Belleville, a French film.  Lilah did some more knitting and Gavin helped with one row.

Then the kids decided to decorate our tree before dinner and cuddles and Julie of the Wolves and singing and sleeping followed.
