A Day Off

We had a teacher in-service day on Friday. The kids didn't want to do anything, so I enjoyed a beautiful fall day at the park with my mom. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the leaves were brilliant, the temperature was perfect, and the company was good. It was a very nice day.

Not everyone was out of school, though, and there happened to be a couple bus loads of school kids visiting the park. It doesn't matter how hard they try, that many kids cannot be quiet on a path through the woods. So, other than school kids, we didn't see much wildlife beyond busy squirrels and a few birds.

Even with the limited wildlife sightings, it was a very nice day.
