A sunny day out

This week is Lauren's spring break. She hasn't had a great week though....Sunday evening she showed signs of not feeling well, we thought maybe some sleep would help. Monday she was still yucky and Tuesday afternoon she was miserable so I took her to the Dr. .....beginning of bronchitis. So needless to say she has not done much this week but feel bad and sleep.

Today, however, she felt better so we decided to go to Town Lake in McKinney and feed the ducks. We loaded up the wagon to try out for Austin (and the stroller just in case) got our bread and we were off.

Austin actually sat in the wagon. This was our first time to see how he would do and he liked it.

Lauren found this funny looking duck sleeping behind a tree and snuck up on him.

Then we found some awake and swimming. We just walked along and stopped at all the ducks trying to find some that would eat.

Here was our first goose.....

Austin's not to sure...(still sitting though)

Who knew Geese stood on one leg like flamingos?

Austin going to see the geese.

Austin wanted to try pushing the wagon...

We took some bubbles to play with today also so we tried them out....Austin liked the tree, he was pulling the bark off and laughing.

Lauren enjoyed the bubbles.....

Finally Austin started chasing the bubbles.

Bubbles!!!!

Back to the geese.....
Austin began to get curious about them and began chasing them....

No Fear....just kept going towards them...

I told Lauren she could ride for a little...
Austin is hugging her.

Hi Mom...

On the way back to the truck we found some geese that were hungry....

Thay came really close with both the kids in the wagon.....

So close Lauren feed one right from her hand.

Austin is still not sure about all this.....

This goose was streching his wing and his leg (must be preparing for Austin to get out of the wagon)

Lauren's over feeding the geese and Austin is going to take her a piece of bread to help (we had to watch him because he kept wanting to eat the bread...it was old)

Off he goes with his bread...

Whoops, it broke...

Austin decided to go check out the geese again. As he's going towards thim the one goose stood up tall....I was hoping he wasn't going to bite him (the goose bite Austin)

I'm going to get them Mom...

Look Lauren...

Lauren tried again but this was as close as he came...

Feeding the last geese as we are leaving....

Austin what are you doing?

Eating the crumbs out of the wagon.....what can you do?

Man...all that geese chasing wears you out.

Once we left the lake we started home.....then we remembered we needed milk. Not wanting to turn around I remembered we got a NEW Braums in Van Alstyne so we decided to go check it out.
It is SO pretty...

When we got in we decided we needed to try there ice cream....
Lauren was excited.

YUM!!!


Can't leave out Austin if you are eating...especially ice cream....

Think he's happy.

All in All we had a great time. I am so glad Lauren is feeling better I just wish her spring break wasn't almost over. What can you do though. She will have more days off and summer is coming.
