5 For Friday - a little late!

Cindy is here visiting so I'm a little late for 5 For Friday! So, without further ado...

1. Like I said, my mom is here visiting! She and I treated ourselves to Valentine's facials on Friday morning. I think my face looks like I'm 36 instead of 37.

2. The snow/ice is finally melting! Almost gone as of today. It'll be nice to get the kids outside to play some basketball on the driveway.

3. We took my mom to Grafton, IL to see the bald eagles on the Illinois and Mississippi River this weekend. Such awesome birds and so great to see them in their natural habitat vs. a bird sanctuary or zoo! Before coming home, we stopped at the Mel Price Lock and Dam in Alton. While we missed the tour by 40 minutes, we still visited the museum and looked at the impressive chunks of concrete that make up Dam #26!

Sunrise before we left home at 6:45.




4. Emily had another great game on Sunday! We finally bought a BIG lens for our Nikon and the lens proved itself useful this weekend with both the eagle watching and Emily's game.



5. Adam starts baseball already this week! Looking forward to Chargers Baseball when it's warmer!
