A post about why I love my job....again....

Today's program was for a summer camp at a local Christian academy.
More specifically, a "bird camp".
Bird camp? Where was MY bird camp when I was younger???


Greeting me at the door was a banner lovingly made by the kids who were eager for my arrival:

Banner
Big colorful letters, and little bird drawings tucked in everywhere...and all the kids signed it!


R bird
Hmmmm...a Great Potoo, perhaps?



Mallard on Banner
A very detailed mallard....



TV on banner
A turkey vulture....



Owl on C
...the most adorable teeny owl sitting on the "C" in Inc....and the "C" is a bird, too!



Eagle on I
And this unfinished eagle, looking very very angry as he says, "Thanks for helping us, Sue Williams."
A great group of kids...all crazy about birds, and all more than willing to sit on a cold floor for an hour and 15 minutes to listen to me exclaim the awesomeness of raptors.

I love my job.

What wonderfully creative kids to make that sign.
I am so glad you tell kids about raptors. The more they know, the more they will care.
