Home Depot Customer Appreciation Weekend

To compete with the new Menards opening up in Eden Prairie, the Home Depot decided to have a customer event this weekend.  John worked on Saturday so I drove Megan in to see the exotic birds, primarily parrots.  This trainer was nice enough to let Megan pet both the blue and white parrots.  She also tried to get the white one to sit on Megan's arm.  Although Megan had no idea what was going on and will never remember this, it was worth it to see her face light up with big, big smiles.



Today, Sunday, the bald eagle was featured!  This is John's favorite bird and probably favorite animal and he was so proud to show it to Megan.  No one was allowed to touch the eagle but we were still able to get close for a few photos.  She was absolutely beautiful!  She weighs only about 11 pounds but sure looks bigger than that.  Megan was a little drowsy at this point but did a good job of keeping her hands to herself.

There was also free hot dogs, popcorn, root beer floats, games and face painting for kids. We didn't think Mean would hold still long enough to get her face painted so we opted for cute painted-on earings instead.  You can see them in the first couple pictures.

Here's one last picture of Megan hanging out in the breakroom right before leaving.  She had a fun weekend visiting the Home Depot!
