Daily bird shows and bird feedings give guests up close and personal experiences. Open 9 AM- 5 PM, 363 days a year.

When we visited the Tracy Aviary, I was amazed at the many variety of birds. My toddler son enjoyed watching the birds that walking around the aviary and that were on display. The Tracy Aviary is very family friendly and great for holding the attention of little ones. I would recommend bringing the following with you:
  • A Camera to take pictures
  • Quarters to Feed the Ducks 
  • Water Bottles for Drinking (especially if it's hot out)
  • Sunscreen

I Love You Just Because Review and Giveaway

Thursday, August 11, 2016

I Love You Just Because by Donna Kieth helps children understand that everyone is unique, each
family member is loved, and that love from parents does not need to be earned. I Love You Just Because tells the story of a family of bears with three unique bear cubs and how they are loved by their parents.

I loved the message in this story, how the story rhymed and flowed, and the illustrations. It was also great to see the diversity within the bear family. My children enjoyed listening to this book and loved the pictures. This book is a board book, 20 pages, for ages 4-8 (although my son is 2 and enjoyed it).

The Rules in Rome Review

Friday, August 5, 2016

While Hitler's men are in Germany, Bastien Ley and his team kill a German officer headed to Rome. They notice that the officer has a remarkable resemblance to Ley. Ley decides to assume his identity and becomes Dietrich, a German Officer. Ley forwards his intelligence to a new radio operator and pretend girlfriend, Gracie Begni. Begni and Ley get off on the wrong foot and must find a way to work together. Will their charade prove too much for them?

A.L. Sowards The Rules in Rome tells a suspenseful tale full of intrigue, romance, secret meetings, torture, narrow escapes and more. I found this book thoroughly entertaining and engaging. It was also very fast paced and held my attention. I also liked that the book showed the war from multiple perspectives. I encourage you to check it out at your local library or buy it on Amazon.
