Today was a March Break holiday for the boys. Tomorrow they will be going with their
parents on a trip to Niagara Falls in their new Nissan Rogue SUV.
When the boys arrived at 9 Lambert, they had fun eating
Grandpa’s pancakes (left over from Pancake Day yesterday).
Then it was time to go birding with Grandpa. Grandpa gives the boys a quarter for each
type of bird they spot (not counting crows). We drove down the country roads
near Richmond. The boys practiced
spotting birds with binoculars and Grandpa’s scope. They counted snowy owls (female), horned larks
and snow buntings.
Then it was time for lunch and Roll Up the Rim at Tim Horton’s
in Richmond. Sam shared his wining large
hot chocolate with David and Grandpa gave Sam his winning “café ticket to use
another time.
Driving home via the dump gave the boys 3 other bird
species: Red-tailed Hawk, Pigeons, and Starlings.
Back at 9 Lambert the boys helped Grant fill the bird
feeders. They really enjoyed the outdoors today.
