8.13.07 : : Close Encounters of the Bird Kind

Today was fun...filled with friends, the beach, the zoo, and birds.


This morning I visited the John Ball Zoo with some good family friends and we fed the 'budgies'...lots and lots of adorable, colorful birds that you could feed and admire. I also pet sting rays and a shark. Quite an adventure before noon on a Monday.


And later this evening my husband and I attended a birthday party for our good friend's son's 8th birthday. It's been an annual tradition to go to Tunnel Park in Holland and cook out, eat watermelon (that serves in lieu of birthday cake) and play in the water and on the beach. With a bit cooler and less humid temperatures, the weather was perfect. It couldn't have been a better summer day.

No babies were harmed or eaten in the course of the evening.

Budgies!
