JOrdan Lake and Museum

This bird feeder was already here when we moved in so we decided to put it to use.  We have enjoyed the birds, but the squirrel is our favorite.  I didn't think they could reach it, but apparently they can!


I don't mind the squirrels, but if the raccoon comes back again I may have to shoot him!



JORDAN LAKE


Some friends invited us to go out to Jordan Lake with them.  Due to miscommunication they didn't make it and we did.  Sorry Emily and Edward!


It was a nice little beach area and there were life vests there you could use for FREE!



Eliza got too hot and she was too tired so we only stayed for about 1 1/2 hrs.


Eating our picnic lunch


Guess who got too tired!


THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM IN RALEIGH, NC


Daniel's favorite was the Dinosaur display.  Here he is in a foot print.


Ella, Bradley and Daniel checking out one of the front legs.


Bradley, Daniel and Becca (in red) in the under water exhibit.


I asked them to show me their teeth and this is what I got!


I am not sure what this pose is, but I like it!!


Daniel, Becca, Bradley, Jane and Emily checking out the whale skeletons. 
Daniel was sure they were more dinosaurs.


This one was cool because it shows what it looks like when a pelican dives for fish.  You can sort of see it around the reflections in the glass.


The sea horses where another favorite.


Baby sea turtles


Giant Dino Shark Jaw!


I loved the butterfly exhibit!




The bell was outside the museum.  It is a replica of the Liberty Bell.  You gotta love Bradley!
