Raptor Center Field Trip

Wednesday Libby's preschool had their first "real" field trip to the Raptor Center. They went to the fire station last month, but it's walking distance from the church. Libby rode with her sweet friend Avery and her Mommy. I had class and didn't get out in time to pick her up, so I met them there. Libby did great and proved to me that she is a definite girly-girl. She and Avery brought some of Avery's Barbie dolls  to the show, and that was all they wanted to play!

Mary Ann was there from the Crossroads...

The "sleepy" Owl... Amazing how they can turn their heads almost all the way around.

Everyone got excited when Nova came out! Libby did perk up for this because it's the Auburn bird as she would say...

He's a Golden Eagle (didn't know that) not a Bald Eagle. Spirit is the Bald Eagle , but Nova flies at the AU games more than any of the other birds. They said it takes them a full year to train an eagle to fly in the stadium. And they are hoping AU won't ask to have him fly at the SEC Championship game or if we go all the way to Phoenix. They said it's too much of a risk. That wouldn't be a good thing if Nova got lost!

Libby and Avery after the show. They were ready to get back to playing with Barbie's!

Living in Auburn does have nice perks for raising children. Aubie can come to your school,  you can see the eagle that flies at the games and you can take gymnastics where the Auburn Gymnast practice. Pretty cool! I don't see how you live in Auburn not being an Auburn fan because if you live in Auburn, AUBURN is all you get.... Everything revolves around it. Even the fire trucks are orange and blue!

Happy Friday!
