A couple of weekends ago, we decided to hop in the car and go up to Grafton and drive along the Great River Road to see if we could spot any bald eagles. The weather that day was absolutely beautiful. So the girls were all decked out, had their bonocholars on the whole way there, ready to spot bald eagles. Well, apparently Eagles like cold and when it's warm they stay in their nests - which for us - was NOT a good thing. We looked everywhere, didn't see even one - well maybe we saw 1 - but heck it could have been a hawk for all we know.... All in all, we had a great family day together despite no Eagle spotting, so nothing gets better than that!
Grafton has this beautiful light house, so of course we had to stop there for pics!
After going to lunch at The Finn Inn, we decided to go expore Grafton and stopped at one of the shops for an ice cream cone. YUM!
When we got home, the weather was so nice, we decided to take the girls up to the park for year number 2 of learning how to ride their bikes without training wheels. THEY DID AWESOME!!!!! What a difference a year makes! They both rode by themselves, still working on starting by themselves, but otherwise they've got it! We are very excited because now we can start going bike riding at the local trails in our area.Here is Cami
And Syd!
Ellie and I cheered them on.

Ang,
You and Bob come up with the neatest things to do with your family. I'm sure their lives will be filled with many wonderful memories of their childhood.
Sounds like a perfect day! Way to go girls on the bikes!
Sounds like a great family fun day! I have always wanted to head up that way to see the bald eagles. We will have to meet up and go bike riding together this summer with the kids!
I remember when we all went to the Finn Inn -- great memories. Sounds like a fun day. Hope you ride your bikes by our house -- call and we will meet up with you.
