A Day with Grandpa

I like it when Grandpa comes to visit. He always does amazing things with us. Today he said he was going to make a bird feeder!

First, Grandpa took out a pine cone and a bag of birdseed. He told me to get some peanut butter and put it all over the pine cone. Then he told my sister to roll the pine cone in the birdseed.

Next, Grandpa tied a strong string around the pine cone. We went outside and walked to a tree in the backyard. Grandpa tied the pine cone to a branch.

We waited. Soon a bird came and pecked at the pine cone! Grandpa said it was a sparrow. Later, a beautiful blue bird came to get some seeds. Grandpa said it was a blue jay. It was exciting. We like watching birds with Grandpa.
