Adopt a Balloon Animal Day 2018

February 24 is Adopt a Balloon Animal Day.  To celebrate, our family went with other birders to the Snow Goose Festival in Delta.  It was coooooold but this year we made sure everyone had scarves and gloves and other needed gear for being in the cold.  It was so cold the reservoir was frozen so there were no geese on the water.  We had to find them in the fields or flying around.  It was still fun to see them.

 
We continued birding on the way home.  At one spot we stopped to look at evening grosbeaks and mountain bluebirds. 

Jeremy had made balloon snow geese and Ross's geese for the birders so he handed them out then (with some help from Lucky).  Our birding friends enjoyed the balloons.

We were also celebrating Jeremy's birthday so we had yummy cake with the birders.  It was still sooooooo cold.  It was a lot of fun, though.

It was fun to see so many different birds and spend time celebrating with these birders and with our awesome family.
