December 9th – <\/strong><\/p>\n

We checked out a place in town called Liberty Wildlife. It is a local organization that focuses on wildlife rehabilitation. They take in up to 20 native animals a day with injuries or baby animals that have been abandoned. They try to get them fixed up and returned to the wild.<\/p>\n

We went because I heard that they had a lot of owls. One of the volunteers took an owl out to let us see it up close! I also love her owl shirt.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They thought this great horned owl was a male because it was so small. The females are usually much bigger. They named it Darwin.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Darwin surprised them all by laying an egg! It was a female.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She is really beautiful.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The volunteers put on a little show to educate about the different types of native birds. It was silly.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brendan got to talk to another great horned owl.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The owl talked back!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The volunteers are so friendly to the kids. This one let the boys pet a bearded dragon that was a surrendered pet.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Like a kid in a candy store!” We stopped by Sweeties on the way home to pick up some decorating candy. The boys were totally nuts with excitement about all of the candy bins.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A big package came for the boys. What could it be?!
