Pictures from our Eagle Expedition

Bald eagles in the trees

What do you do when it’s 7 degrees outside? Bundle yourself up, the kids too, and drive to the Mississippi River to commune with the eagles.

We recommend you bring binoculars, but luckily the folks with the Dept. of Natural Resources were set up at the very place we stopped, and they shared their scopes with us. (Trick of the day: lifting your almost 7 year old up when you are 6 months pregnant yourself!)

Of course, for the Little Lady, they readjusted the scopes. We can’t have her inconvenienced with scopes on too tall tripods, now can we?

Then we found a local pizza joint. Mmmmmm, pizza.
