Tracy Aviary with the Salt Lake Unschoolers

Labor day was a nice slow day at home. We had some family over for Travis's delicious smoked pork shoulder. I meant to take more pictures but I enjoyed hanging out with my family instead.

The next day we joined our unschool group at Tracy Aviary. It's such a fun little spot with lots of things to see and do!

Cass was excited to see Kieran again!
