Once again I found myself with a cool photo opportunity and no camera, and once again it involved birds. I'm starting to smell conspiracy! We had an assembly at school today that was the coolest thing ever. Usually I find assemblies to be a waste of time and they're pretty lame generally. When I heard that we had one today from the Fraternal Order of Eagles I couldn't imagine that it would be anything worth getting out of class for. I WAS WRONG!
This group was from Georgia and is part of SOAR - Save Our American Raptors. They brought a variety of different raptors, owls, hawks, eagles, falcon and a turkey vulture. Not only did we get to see them up close and learn all about them, they flew a couple of them right over our heads. I mean like within inches of your head! It was so cool!!
Okay, but that's not my photo, just thinking about how nice it would have been to talk about it and have a photo, but no camera. We did have a camera for our visit with Santa, though, and that is today's DPP entry. Matthew got to visit with Santa and let him know that he wants a red firetruck for Christmas. While we waited for the photographer lady to get the camera ready Matthew and Santa also talked about other things including the Texas Tech Red Raiders, which is when we were able to capture Santa and Matthew Gettin' Their Guns Up! Apparently Santa is a Tech fan too.
What a precious picture. Very cute.
