Memorial Day weekend
We had a nice relaxing Memorial Day weekend. On Sunday we went for a drive in the mountains because someone told us about a hummingbird place. Every Memorial Day weekend they tag and track hummingbirds, and they said the kids get to even hold them, so we went on a "family bonding drive" in search of this place- and we found it! And it was beautiful.

There were hundreds of hummingbirds
They are tagging a hummingbird- they said their legs are the width of needles.
Ella's hummingbird was the only one that stayed in her hand long enough for a picture. The boy's birds took off right away.....(smart birds!)
Ella's bird stayed a long time, in fact I was beginning to wonder if it had gone into shock and was going to die in her hand. That would have been just lovely. But it took off! (Thankfully)

what a fun weekend! where is the hummingbird place, it looks like it would be worth the drive.
What a fun family activity. :) And I LOVE the picture of Livi on the swing. She's got the prettiest eyes.
We've always wanted to go to the Hummingbird thing as well but never made it. I'm so glad you guys got to go. And we haven't been to the fish hatchery yet this year - that's a must FHE.
