On June 4, we headed to Salt Lake to check out Tracy Aviary and see my friend Camille one last time before her family moves to Porto Rico for Dental school. Our Pass of all Passes grants free access on Tuesdays, and the Aviary is right next to Liberty Park--well, more like IN the park. We saw a Bobwhite, that quail made famous to me by my dad's Woodbadge days. Apparently they're rare? I did not know that. So, we had to take a picture of the little bird for my dad.
(He's in the cage right next to the wire wall on the bottom right)
We also met this Condor that is as old as my parents:
Rachel had a nice ride in the stroller, and had a major explosion in the middle of the park, but what do you do? Thank goodness for diaper bags with wipes, hand sanitizer, and extra clothes.
We met Camille, Noah, and Spencer outside the Aviary and then walked over to the park area for a picnic lunch. We ate. The kiddos played. Nothing too exciting, but time comfortably spent with a dear friend.
Isn't she such a beautiful mother?
I got a little choked up saying good bye. At least both her family and Alex's family are in Utah, so they'll be visiting at least once a year. She assured me I'll be on the list of people to see.
Thanks for being my friend, Mille. I will miss you!

Bob White birds are rare? We had a bunch outside of our Topeka house. Every morning I'd wake up and hear, "Bob White! Bob White!" over and over again. That is a beautiful picture you took of Camille and her kids. Awesome job!
