I wanted to share with you some of the fun things we did over the summer. It was nothing spectacular, by any means, just more ways of making some lasting memories. As you know, that's what I'm all about!
On one particular day early on in the summer, the girls and I went to one of our local parks to do some walking and to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Now, we had intended to take a little stroll around a small lake there, but it ended up being a vigorous hike that took us probably 5 miles round trip. We were there in the HEAT of the day, so you can just imagine! WHEW! When we finished our "walk", the girls ran back to the car and got out a sleeve of saltine crackers they'd brought with us to feed to the geese.
We walked up to the LARGE crowd of geese that waited anxiously to be fed. As soon as they spotted the crackers, they went BONKERS! They started honking like crazy and chasing the girls all over the place...I laughed so hard!
As you can see, Brittany was trying with all her might to run from the geese before the caught up to her!
And she's still running from them...as fast as her little legs would carry her!
See? The crowd of geese grew rapidly and Abby tried hard to keep a safe distance...as I was continuing to laugh hysterically the entire time! That girl was on her own to fend for herself!
Little by little, she decided to inch her way closer to the hungry and impatient army!
Brittany finally decided to seek refuge on a fence...big ol' chicken that she is!
After the feeding frenzy came to an abrupt end, the girls opted to take spin on the playground. I even had to take a whirl on a swing. Ahh...it felt good to act like a kid, again!
There are definitely more stories to come! Hopefully, I won't be away too long! Enjoy your day!

Hi April
That must have been so funny. I can just imagine. Poor Abby stranded there with the geese! I bet you laughed until you cried. Loved seeing the pictures. Look forward to hearing more of your adventures this summer.

Cute pics with the geese. Good luck to your husband with his job search. Take good care!
A 5 mile hike in the heat of the day! You are amazing!
Lol! I would totally run for the fence too. Geese are scary!
I've been in the hospital with 2 surgeries for 70 days, and I had no idea that Chris was out of work. I'll pray for you guys.
lol as hot as its been here I am surprised ya'll didn't pass out
Something similar happened to me on our honeymoon in Hawaii...only they were exotic birds and they cornered me and hissed and nipped at me while my husband laughed. I was terrified!!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your summer adventures!!
XO,

Sometimes the best memories are the simplest!

I would have laughed really hard too....
Too funny about the geese! I have learned that they are aggressive birds, and greedy too!
I love to swing, it brings out the kid in me!
I know those geese can be funny - well, if you are not the one with the crackers or other wanted food! If you are the one under attack...they can be scary. Yes, this is a voice of experience:(
Looks like fun, though!!
That is hysterical! I would've been double over with laughter! HA! The playground looks like fun too.
Been missin' ya!
Those pictures are so funny! I've learned that geese can be a little agressive at times. Especially if they think you have food! I find them absolutely adorable though.
