Weekend

Jami came over this weekend and only Danny came with her.  I fixed tenderloins for us Friday night.  Then we played "Farkle".  Saturday we got up a bit late and fixed bacon and eggs for breakfast.  After breakfast we went to the Largo Nature Park for a walk and to see some wildlife.  We got lucky.  This is the first time we've seen 6 limpkins in one outing!  We watched a limpkin crack open a shell to get the meat out of it.  He just laid the shell down and hit it hard with his beak until he could get it open enough to such the goodie out of it.  Very interesting to watch.  When we went to the other side of the park, we saw 4 species of birds all in the same 10' area - a roseate spoonbill, a tri-colored heron, a juvenile ibis, and a pied-bill grebe.  They were fishing for food so didn't mind us taking pictures of them.  A little later we watched a Great Blue Heron catch a fish by stabbing it with his beak.  Then he had to work to get the fish off his beak to swallow it.  We had a good time.  Danny used one of our cameras and took some really good pictures. 

We ate lunch at Gators and then after a rest we played dominoes until Danny started to get tired and grumpy.  Today we went to church.  After cooking burgers on the grill, the kids left and Dave and I both took naps!  I'm reading Michelle Obama's book Becoming and I'm hating to put it down.  It's extremely well written and if you like her, you'll love this book!
