So we really crammed in alot of stuff our last few weeks of summer. Week before last we met up with my friend Emily and her kids and headed east to the bird refuge. We got the whole experience and drove out first to take the auto tour!
We saw lots of wildlife, huge pelicans, cranes, seagulls and lots of other birds.
The auto tour had quite a few pullouts to stop along the way. We stopped at almost every one. The six boys (Emily's 4 and mine) loved throwing rocks in the water and scaring all the birds away!
A few of the stops had walkout decks that gave a better view of the surroundings.
After the 12 mile tour we headed back to visit the Education Center. On the drive I pulled over to take a picture of the boys in the beautiful wheat fields.
Yeah...you can see how well that went over.
The education center was beautiful. They had nice displays and the air conditioning was delightful.
Brynn, like always, just liked being out of the car!
The last thing we did before we left was walk along the paths around the center.
So, Emily! What should our next big adventure be???

Be careful what you ask for Britney. I'm sure we could think of all sorts of adventures. :) But could any other top this one? The drive out to the auto-tour on paved, semi-paved, and unpaved roads was an adventure in and of itself. You have to admit that at least one time you asked yourself, "Where the heck is she taking me?!?" The real question though is were your boys screaming, "We're gonna die!!!" like mine were crossing the narrow bridges? Good times. Good times. :)
I know I tell you this constantly but you are just CRAZY talented Brit! I love the pictures..especially the one of Gage on TJ's back and the one of Brynn on the bridge...you are just amazing! Doesn't hurt to have such gorgeous kids to photograph too...
That looks like so much fun. Where is it?
That looks like fun!!! I wish you were here to take all of my everyday pictures...every picture you take looks professional. Glad you had fun...always great to take a trip with a good friend!
Your pictures are great!!!
You know, this is another place I never saw, and I lived right there for years! LOVE the pictures this post. You got so many gorgeous ones! Brynn is looking so big. I love to see her toddling along. Great post!
Wait a minute? where is this place? I don't know about this place, I need to stop being a hermit and get out & explore these cool places! Love all the pics! Audrey does not like being in the car at all either.
Oh my, I LOVE the piggyback picture and Brynn on the bridge! I remember going to the bird refuge with the scouts. Good times.
So fun Brit....I wish we lived closer. Although I cant complain, you are not too far. Sounds like you had a blast and I love the pics...especially the one of the wheat fields. Those faces!!! Ha
Okay so I was having a hard time telling where the blog post ended. I thought I could comment more, but it's all one post! First of all Congrats on the fair entries, you are a VERY talented photog! We had a great time at the Gateway. I love the picture of Gage on the moon with TJ and Brynn. Wheeler farm was a blast. Your pictures turned out great. And I am so proud of the ribbons for the boys too...even the purple! Great job Brit!
