A Night in Gotham


Our night began at 11:15 p.m. with a thrilling feature film made in 1965, Flight of the Phoenix, starring Jimmie Stewart. The film was so intense that 5 out of the 6 viewers fell asleep within the first 15 minutes of the movie. After we were all in our rooms ready to sleep at 1:45 a.m. I woke up to hear Nate say, "A bat???? We have a bat in our house????" Nate's mom was getting ready for bed when she saw something fly behind her. The next 15 minutes were filled with shrieks, laughs, slamming doors, and open windows. Needless to say, the bat found its way out of the house...it survived, and so did we. The picture is of Nate's family saying goodnight to our creepy visitor.

That is a crazy story! I would just die if there was a bat in my house...maybe not die, but scream like crazy. I still remember one time we saw a bat in the Founder's Center stairwell at NBBC...yuck.

Fun story. I would have freaked out. Did Adrianna wake up during all the excitement?
