Our plan for Saturday was to pick up our friends Rob and Kate, then drive about an hour and a half to Scotland Neck to visit Sylvan Heights Bird Park. We got some Chinese food take out on the way, and had a picnic at the park. The kids played on the playground while we finished eating, then we explored the park. It's basically like a mini-zoo, but for birds and waterfowl. Simon really liked seeing the owls.
The kids are really happy about gummies, every time.
The coolest area was the Landing Zone, where they sell little sticks with seeds on them, and parakeets will land on them and eat. Simon was super excited at the idea of catching a bird, but then a little nervous once he actually had one.
When the kids were tuckered out, we got them some ice cream, then headed home.
