A day at the park

Davin and I were board of being home and doing housework so I decided to take him to see and feed the ducks at the Layton Park. What a fun day. When we got to the park I took him to the pond and we saw some geese walking on the sidewalk so I took Davin out of the stroller and showed him how to feed the birds. He was scared, but what 1 1/2 year old wouldn't be. Geese are big birds and these ones were hungry. They ran up to me and snatched the bread right from my hand with no hesitation.

  

Well after we walked around the pond and saw all the ducks I thought it would be fun to get a few scenic pictures with Davin. He wasn't to cooperative. He wanted to play on the grass.

After a few attemps I gave up and we headed over to the playground. Davin loved the slide and the swings. He cried when I told him it was time to go home.

I had packed a few snacks and a blanket so we sat on the grass and had a picnic and played with Davin's little soccer ball before we left. It was a good ending to the afternoon. Davin wore himself out and feel asleep on the way home. 

Lake Powell '09

We always have such a great time at Lake Powell. I look forward to it every year. Nothing beats sitting under the warm sun or playing in the cool water.

This year Davin was old enough to do just about everything. He loved the sand and the water the most. He would stay in the water till his whole body was a wrinkled prune. Even then he didn't want to get out. He loved to sit in the captans chair and pretend he was stearing the boat.

We had a great time with family and friends. Lots of great food and dancing. It was a very relaxing week.

On our way home a deer decided to try and out run the Denali. It jumped in front of the car and well...he didn't make it. We hit the poor thing and killed it. It did some damage to the Denali and we sat on the side of the road for about 3 or 4 hours until the men were able to jimmy rig a peice together then Aren's dad had to fill out a police report about the accident then we were on our way. It wasn't a fun experience but I can't wait till next years trip.
