Unexpected House Guest

Saturday night, June 20th, Jill, Alex, and I came home from the Lakehouse while the other two stayed overnight with Grandma Barb & Papa Jim.

After talking in the kitchen for a few minutes (having already put Alex down in his crib) Jill and I had an unexpected house guest waiting to welcome us home. I thought at first it was a large moth flying by the light throwing a large shadow...turns out it was a bat (not necessarily the same as the one picture). Jill hit the floor screaming with a towel over her head...while I calmly studied the situation. Hey its my blog, I will tell the story as I want to.

After flying a few laps around the kitchen, dining room, living room, and entry way in which Jill went screaming from the front door which brought our neighbor over to hold our front door open...he saw the bat buzz my head which caused me to land on my backside after several swings with a broom. Finally, it flew out the front door.

Apparently Omaha, Nebraska has a large bat population for an urban population. As one might imagine, I hope that is our last encounter with a winged house-guest.
