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.

Adopt a Balloon Animal Day 2015

Yesterday, February 23, was National Rationalization Day and I didn't do a blog post.  I was tired.  We had a fun going to the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point for FHE and playing out in the Discovery Garden... in February. 

When we got home, I made a new skirt for Nichole for dance class because she grew out of the skirt I made for her over three years ago. 

So I slept instead of blogged and now you know why.

But today we got to celebrate February 24, Adopt a Balloon Animal Day.  This is our own holiday we made up. 
One of our friends' relatives just moved back to Utah and they remember visiting last year and Jeremy making balloons animals for them.  The little boy remembered that Jeremy made him a motorcycle so for Adopt a Balloon Animal Day, he got a balloon motorcycle along with an adoption certificate. 

And I know a motorcycle is not an animal, but I also blogged about National Rationalization Day on this same post so a little bit must have carried over.  And Jeremy made the boy's sister a pegasus so that's an animal.
Happy Celebrating.
