We checked out of the hotel at ten o'clock, and decided to take it easy for today, but we couldn't be too late because I had a back to school thingamajig and I couldn't miss it. But I won't bore you to death explaining my school. So this is going to be a relatively short blog post. Long story short, we went to Catalina State Park. From what I saw, Catalina State Park is known for birding. An that is exactly what we saw. Birds. Tons of birds. From yellow warblers to rainbow sunbirds, they had them all (not really). We decided to wait at the picnic area while my mom hiked, my dad listened to audio books, I finished the Junior Ranger booklet, and it rained mesquite tree pods. Not necessarily in that order. Oh, and we also saw these yellow caterpillars, which were pretty much everywhere. Here are some pictures.

Anyway, after I got my badge, we packed up everything and started the two hour drive back to our house. That's about it so questions, comments, sarcastic whatnot, comment board is right over there! And that concludes Episode 3 of "The Adventures of Sock Monkey"! Thanks for reading, people of earth and intergalactic space!
Did you see any wild flowers there?
