This past Monday was awesome! Too bad the stupid weather has been preventing me from being on here. It's freezing in the basement! Anyways, last Monday was a field trip to the U of M Raptor Center. I'm not a big bird person, but it was fun seeing all the different birds and hearing their stories. My class was able to see perigrin falcons, bald eagles, golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, american kestrels, and a variety of owls. It was kinda sad seeing them locked up in cages, but at the same time it was exciting to see the birds alive. All of them had either been injured or hand-raised prior to arriving at the Raptor Center. It was a great learning opportunity.
After the Raptor Center, I met up with some people to go to the Winter Carnival. It was a great day to be outside, but 40 degree weather is not good for ice sculptures. Sadly, they were all starting to melt. But we were able to decipher a few of them. There was also an "onscreen" stage fight between the Vulcans and the Ice people. They "fight" every year. It's a tradition at the Winter Carnival. The fight we observed was won by the Ice people, but they were meeting that night for another rumble. Besides the ice sculptures, there was a hot dish tent with food and beverages, as well as an ice skating rink only charging for skate rental. If only we had cash, we could have gone ice skating :( Instead, we wandered the Lankmark Center to see the area in history. There were old court rooms, historical pictures and newspaper clippings. The architecture of the building was amazing! I suggest going inside if you never have. Time to head off school. Have a great week!
