We went to the zoo today to, but just kept on driving when we saw that everyone that lives in the city of Buffalo was at the zoo too. That's the nice thing about having a pass, when it's crowded you can just say "we'll go another day". It would have been miserable, no walking or playing on the playground for Aby because I'm too paranoid to let her do those things when there are lots of people around. Maybe another day, that's what I told Abygail and promised to go to the duck park instead. She fell asleep in the car just before we got there so we turned around and came home for naps instead.
To make up for a promise we took our dinner of P.B.&J.s to the duck park for a picnic and hike. We found a quite little spot and enjoyed our dinner and watched the ducks. Soon all the male ducks swarmed in on the female duck...you can guess what happened next. I'm glad I'm not a duck because it was pretty violent and I'm sure she's missing lots of feathers now.
Abygail had fun climbing the hills and running around. We took a little hike by the river (until we couldn't go any farther with the stroller - next time we'll go stroller-less). I showed Abygail how to skip rocks - she thought it was fun to just throw the rocks into the water.
We topped dinner off with a trip to our favorite Ice Cream Parlor, Sweet Jenny's, YUMMMMO! They even had my favorite flavor, orange chocolate.
We all had fun and enjoyed the warm weather with the temp pushing 70. I forgot the camera so no pics.
That sure sounds like a fun day! I took Megan to the park once when she was little. The ducks were doing the same thing.Feathers were flying! Megan kept yelling at him to leave her alone. Then out of frustration she said, "Oh! I would just like to smack him!" It was pretty funny. How nice that you are having warm weather and can get out with the kids. I know that you enjoy it as much as they do.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little concerned for the female duck! Yikes! However, I am glad to see that you guys had a good day as a family. It just makes me happy that you're happy. :)
