Keith's Birthday

Today was Keith's birthday and we had a nice relaxing day just checking out a local park in Leavenworth down by the river and we ended it up by driving into Kansas City to have dinner at a barbecue place that Keith knew of. When we came out of the restaurant there was a very active thunderstorm going overhead and lightning was hitting all around us which I thought was very cool.

After dinner we sat on the porch back at Keith's house and watched another thunderstorm go by and as it got dark we watched the fireflies flitting around the yard. I remember seeing fireflies in Indiana when I was a kid but I haven't seen them in 50 years or so and it was a real treat to finally see them again.

It was another hot day and real muggy but not too hot for me and I was loving it. This trip has been a fantastic one so far and Keith and Kathy have made us feel right at home. In 2 more days we will be heading back to Idaho.
