 Darrel says he saw a bat last night.  Oh great!

I had a doctor's appointment at Dr. Moffat's this morning at 9am.  Becky Skousen, a member of our war who works for Dr. Moffat, called it my "welcome to Medicare" appointment.  Before I left home I made two dozen cinnamon rolls.  I also made some oatmeal for James.  I got behind a logging truck going into Show Low and it made me late for my appointment.  I don't like logging trucks and I especially don't like getting behind them.

I like Dr. Moffat.  He wrote me a prescription for folic acid, metoprolol and hydrochlorithiazide.  Went to Walmart to fill my precriptions and did some shopping while I was there.  I saw Jared and Darrel doing their shopping too.  I got a three month supply of pills and it cost me $94.96.

On the way home I stop at Panda Express for some lunch, the dry cleaners, and to get gas.  I make James a grilled tuna sandwich for lunch.  After lunch everyone wants to go to the Pit and the Swing.  We take both ATV's and my car.

Fun at the Pit

Meeting of the minds.

Trina, Ruby, and Molly

Fun at the Swing

Found the memorial near the Swing

Waiting for a turn on the Swing

The Swing was fun for most of the kids and for Tricia.  Rowan wanted nothing to do with it but Ruby loved it.  Jared's kids had been before so they knew what to expect. 

When we get back from the Pit and Swing Trina and I take Rowan, Molly, and Ruby to the Vernon Park.  While there we end up finding a horse that the kids wanted to pet.

 

Jared, Tricia, Darrel and Trina got away for a few minutes to take a Razr ride without the kids.

Back at home Ruby and Molly decided they wanted to practice up on their fishing skills.

While Jared fixed burgers, hotdogs, and salmon for dinner, Darrel played a "Match" game with Ruby.

Jared fixed the food, and Darrel did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.  Such good boys I have!!

After dinner we had a little excitement or what I like to call "Batmania."  Trina said when she was using the restroom upstairs a bat came to visit.  She was freaked out but apparently so was he.  He squeezed under the door and went into the bedroom.  The quest was to remove this bat immediately.  Trina had a broom downstairs and Darrel one upstairs.  The poor bat didn't have a chance.  Darrel ended up swatting him to the ground.  We put him in a bag and James Hayden took him outside and released him.  Hope he doesn't come back.  Tricia took a video on her phone and all you could here was little girls screaming.  Did I mention that Stacy Barney and her three kids came to join us this evening?

I love this picture of our home in the mountains.  I love the clouds and beautiful green grass, and the trees.
