There's An Owl in the Neighbourhood

Daddy first spotted the owl when he strolled around the neighborhood at night. He said he came face to face with it and it flew away. 

The next night, the family was out in full force. Sarah and Sammy were in their double stroller and Daddy and Mommy walking quietly beside. Daddy spotted it again, perched on top of a little barren tree. As he walked nearer and attempted to take a picture with his phone, the bird took flight just above Sammy and Mommy's head. Sarah was hiding in her double stroller with covering her ears tight. 

Just last night, we went for our owl hunt and spotted the owl perched on the same barren tree. This time, the kids were more experienced and so was mommy. Sammy was quiet and he whispered, "Daddy, take a picture". Mommy tried an owl call. The owl moved and turned its body a few times. Sammy and Mommy approached neared and tried the owl call together. Then without warning, the bird flew away into the night. 

We [minus Sarah] were all wowed.
