Another Good Day

On July 30, instead of doing chores in the morning, we went out for a walk along the Provo River before it got too hot. As we were walking along looking for birds, what should fly past us at 10:45 in the morning? A bat. It flew past us and over to a tree and crawled into a hole to get some rest. That was kind of fun.

We had a good walk and did see and hear some birds.

We stopped at Utah Lake State Park to look at grebes before heading home. There was a juvenile who kept squawking and rushing over each time a parent surfaced. "I'm hungry. Give me food." Sometimes they had something for it to eat. It was fun to watch the grebes and for Nichole to get pictures.

When we got home, we had lunch, then the kids got to work on chores. They got done in a decent enough time and were able to have plenty of free time and enjoyed playing card games together. It was a nice feeling.

I also got dinner made in a decent enough time. We had chili dogs for the holiday, National Chili Dog Day.

Later after some of the kids went to bed, I celebrated another July 30 holiday, National Cheesecake Day, by making a microwave cheesecake. I goofed up a little but it was still yummy. I'll just have to make it again sometime and do it right.
