We went over to the lagoons for our morning walk. The park has three lagoons, and they are a great place for bird watching. We saw a small bird along the shore that looked like a reddish heron and a few minutes later a great blue.
We didn't want to stray too far from home on our walks today, since the air was quite smoky here this morning and the weather forecast included possible storms. It acctually did storm this afternoon, but the rain was more like heavy dew.
This evening we went to the Cork and Catch fto celebrate Ken's recent birthday. It was a delightful experience. Here's the shrimp cocktail we started with. It tasted every bit as good as it looks.
The Cork and Catch was a great place to celebrate. We pretty much had the entire place to ourselves. The owner stopped by to talk with us a couple of times. Turns out she and her husband traveled for five years in their motorhoom before returning to Cottonwood to open this restaurant.
Chris called. He's been reading the blog and saw that we've been at the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. That reminded him of a trip he took with Kim years ago to this area, where they learned about the Anasazi. They went to the Grand Canyon too, which is where we're headed.
We came back to the campground to walk this evening. The place is full, but still not too noisy. It's nice to hear kids having fun.
