We made the trip down to the Delta Snow Goose Festival again this year. We're slowly starting to do things with other people again as in our whole family drove down together in the van but when we were out of the van we were around other birders from Utah County Birders.
Jet slept through most of it. He woke up in time to say goodbye to another birding buddy who is less than a year younger than he is and goes out birding soooooo much with his mom and grandma. I wouldn't mind getting out more with Jet again.
We drove home by way of driving around West Mountain. It was pleasant until some of the kids had had enough of the trip and started fighting. I made them get out and do jumping jacks to get out some of that excess energy that they were using for fighting. I'll have to remember that for next time. We did see a beautiful ferruginous hawk, some bald eagles, and plenty of other birds.
It felt so good to take up this tradition again of going to the snow goose festival around Jeremy's birthday. We didn't bring a big chocolate cake to share this year but when we got home, we did have Jeremy's birthday dinner and I did make him a chocolate cake.
Then he opened his cards and his birthday present and saw the book he knew he was getting then saw the bookmark (Utah State Parks Pass) he didn't know he was getting. He was very happy about that extra surprise. He's happy to let me use it, too, since we're both planning on doing more birding this year.
I think Jeremy was pleased with how we celebrated his birthday this year.
