Hawk! (week 2)


This was, once again, one of the highlights of Austin's weekend. You can see how excited he is in this picture! Interestingly, very little decomposition has taken place on the outside of the hawk.

Is there really a Tiger in there?

Hawk!

Honestly...they only used the stick to point out his anatomy: talons, beak, wings, feathers, etc.! This is a well preserved hawk, and we cannot figure out how he died. Austin wanted to go back to look at this bird several times--he was very interested in him.

We managed to wander up to this deserted balcony on the Strand. Austin and Ella loved to play hide and seek with each other behind the lone potted plant. It was kind of a nice break from the masses.

Shell Collection


Saturday was a great day for scouring the beach for shells.

Hey!

Top of the Donut TO YOU!

Austin really wanted donuts for breakfast (which is kind of funny because we usually only eat donuts when we are at the beach). He proceeded to eat the chocolate icing and sprinkles only off the donut. Tonight for dinner he had the leftover strawberry iced donut with sprinkles--just the top!
