Raptors...!

Dear Nicky,

This afternoon we all went to this place called the Raptor Trust. It's a place nearby, near the Great Swamp, where you can go and see interesting birds. It's like a hospital for birds. Injured birds are brought there and restored to health, and while there, are on display for people to see. We saw owl, hawks, falcons, and bald eagles, also vultures and ravens. Then we went for a walk in the Great Swamp. The trees have no leaves there yet, so it was hotter than we expected. This afternoon was kind of rough on you, because you seem to be getting your two-year molars all at once, which has made you extremely, extremely miserable, which makes Mom and me...well, you know. Hopefully tonight you'll sleep well because you need the rest.

Love,
Dad
