Eagle Tour

For those of you who don't already know, our area in NW Tennessee is home to several nesting pairs of Bald Eagles, and the winter home of hundreds of them. Unfortunately, I didn't know where to find them until this year. Thanks to Kim Crews, we went on an eagle tour and spotted 57 Bald Eagles. Below are some of the better pictures from the trip.

Gatlinburg Aquarium

In Late February, we took the youth to Winterfest in Gatlinburg, TN. Oddly enough, the Smoky Mountains have some of the best ocean life in the world. The Aquarium in Gatlinburg was fantastic. We have quickly discovered that fish are one of Jude's favorite things to watch. He was enthralled by all he saw. It was such a delight to watch him watch the fish.

As you can see Jude really enjoyed getting inside this aquarium

He'll grow into it

So the moral of this post is that if you feel Jude doesn't enjoy visiting you as much, get some fish, and you will rocket to the top of his destinations list.
