Great place to visit - National Eagle Center

We had a fun day trip this week to the National Eagle Center in Wabasha. It was a pretty cool place with a bunch of hands-on exhibits that allow you to really get an understanding of what Eagles are like and what makes them special. The best part though was the presentation with an Eagle.
Things are always cooler when told by someone who is really passionate about the topic that they are talking about, and this guy was ecstatic about eagles. He did a great job of weaving questions from the audience into his presentation and even though it went for about an hour, even Ethan and Adline were still engaged at the end - which is really saying something.

Some pictures of our day:
