Fun at the Park

We took the girls to the park for a picnic and of course these means heading over to the duck pond.

It's huge! The picture doesn't capture the whole pond there's more to the right and left that isn't pictured.

The girls had a lot of fun feeding the ducks, geese, swans and gulls.

OK, so Kaity had more fun feeding the birds then Bree did but Bree liked watching the birds flap around and make lots of noise. She smiled
and laughed. I think her favorite part was walking around the duck pond a second time. She rode in the stroller the first time around the pond.


After we fed the birds we headed over to the playground for a little swinging and sliding.

Bree didn't care for the swing but she did like the slide.

I think it helped that Kaity showed Bree how to slide down.

It probably helped that daddy was at the bottom ready to catch her. We didn't get any pics of her coming down the slide since Shawn needed to catch her and that's tough to do while trying to take a picture.

We topped off the fun day by stopping at The Popcorn Colonel for some tasty popcorn. My favorite is the caramel popcorn....yum.

All
in all we had a great time at the park. We're going to try to stop at
parks when we go out to let the girls play for a little bit before the
weather gets nasty. Winter's just around the corner here. The forecasts
have been showing a possibility for snow in the mountains....won't be
long before it's snowing here.

  1. Sounds like a fun day! Can't quite imagine winter being around the corner, but in your neck of the woods I know it is!

  2. Send some snow my way! :-) That looks like a great park - we need to visit ours more often. No kiddos, but there are great photography opportunities!

  3. I like to buy day old baguettes for the kids to feed the birds. Isabel swats away the seagulls with the extra crusty ones so the geese get a bite.
    Cute pictures!

  6. True, nights are getting colder. Winter is coming whether we want it or not. On the plus side, it will be easier to knit. On the down side, the girls won't be outside playing as much.
