IBM Family Night and a Lovely Saturday

Last night was so much fun! I was happy to spend an entire evening with Jeremy. Every year IBM holds a family night at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. -A place we have visited often in the past year. But all the same it is a lovely night! The weather was so great, no wind at all. We sat and ate dinner on a quiet patio out in the peaceful desert environment under the stars with soft music playing in the background. We watched a little show about birds of prey, pet a snake, and saw a mountain lion and a beaver just to name a few. It's a great place to visit. It was cool to go to IBM family night for a second time, since we tried to do things that we didn't do last year, or when my parents visited with us over the summer. Here are some pictures from the event.

This is a Chihuahuan Raven. It was trained to fly all around the auditorium. Its wings flapped right over the heads of the audience. Just the flap of the wind from underneath them is so powerful it really makes you think about how amazing birds really are. We just forget about them until they poop on our cars really.

 This is a Ferruginous Hawk. She kept screeching every once in a while it was a bit intimidating. I was afraid for the small children in the audience since they could be mistaken for small rodents/delightful snacks.

 This was in a cave exhibiting the lifestyle that bats would have. There were no real bats of course, since they are sensitive to human influence. But these were fun pictures :). We took them last year also, so it has become a tradition at the Desert Museum for us. 

 He would make a handsome bat.

 yay

After the dinner and walking around the museum, we went home and watched the latest Indiana Jones movie. I really enjoyed spending some relaxing QT with my man out and about as well as cozy and at home.

-rather lovely indeed
