Almost as soon as we arrived in BEND, we purchased a membership at the HIGH DESERT MUSEUM. We’d been there before with Sophia, and it’s just a fabulous place to spend a few hours.
This weekend, Sophia stayed overnight with us and then we went to Sabbath School (next month, she’ll be four years old and “graduate” to Kindergarten!). There were only three children there (holiday weekend), and this time we didn’t go on to church, because there was a Raptor Show at the museum that started at 1:00, and we couldn’t make it by the time church was finished. So, we went home and made sandwiches (peanut butter and pickle, peanut butter and honey), packed apples, carrots, etc. and off we went to the Museum.
Out front is the trout stream, so we did the usual and fed the hungry fish with bread crumbs….extremely satisfying

Yes, I realize that the photo isn’t all that impressive - but come back later for the video!
Once inside, we headed directly for the “lecture hall”

and were mightily disappointed when it was announced that they were doing a “Desert Animals” lecture, postponing the Raptor Show until 3:00. BOY, were we glad we decided to stay, anyhow
