Grey Lodge with the Cousins

During one of our January visits to Gridley we went to Grey Lodge. Grey Lodge is a wildlife area and nature preserve. During the winter thousands of migratory birds stop there. It is a beautiful place to walk around and explore. We were excited to go there with cousins and see the birds.

The cousins
It sure is hard to get all of them to look and smile at the same time. This is the best picture I got. It's not perfect, but I'm glad to have the memory.
Ava and Rich
Who's that hiding?
Dave's family
The kids enjoyed playing around the weirs which made the moms (at least me) nervous.
Lily found a feather.
Bella and Zoie are the best buds.
Parker found a giant walking stick.
The lovely Sutter Buttes

Hey, how come nobody invited us? It would've been fun to see if Rachel actually learned anything from her Audubon Club days in fifth grade. Looks like it was lots of fun!

I thought that the Jensens couldn't make it! Well maybe the next time we're all together we can go there to take a family picture. The one that you took with Buttes in the background is my favorite.

Sorry Sherrie! We thought your kids were in school that day.
