Sunny and active Sunday.

The day started, as most good days do, with breakfast cookies prepared by Luke and Liz. After that we went for a walk at a park in Spring Hill. Lots of folks were out but we kept our distance. Luke really enjoyed throwing rocks into the stream. We cam home for lunch and a nap, then went out again. The plan was for a hike at a place that Liz and Luke had never visited, Cheeks Bend Bluff, but it was too crowded when we got there, so we did some scenic driving instead. Afterwards Luke helped me put water in the refrigerator and then we had dinner with special guests Sock Monkey and Bear.

14 in dog years.

What a great day! It was a long one, jammed with activity and familiar faces. We started off by making breakfast cookies. Then we went out to a construction site and saw some big equipment in action. I think Luke would have been happy to watch the excavator all day. Next we had snack, then played a bit and prepared Luke’s cake. Lunch was tasty, followed by a three hour (!) nap. After that things got really exciting. We did a Zoom session with family and they were able to see Luke eat his birthday cake and open a present. Since the weather was so lovely we went on a hike at the nature park after that. Dinner was excellent, then he went to bed.
