Meet Barty...

I took Braedyn outside to play for a little while before nap. Since it's sunny... logically I thought of opening up the umbrella on our deck for a little shade. Well, to my astonishment... A BAT was sleeping within the security of the closed umbrella. At first when we saw it, it was asleep. I'm surprised it could sleep with all the screaming I was doing... (I am so a girl!)

I've decided to call him Barty... Barty the Bat. Unfortunately... we will be saying goodbye to Barty this evening as he takes off for his evening meal. We are going to put his home back in the garage for awhile so he'll find another place to live.
