Dates, Shopping, Geese, and Vet's Memorial

On Saturday, Ash had a Papa date to play catch and batting practice. She is getting better. So while Ash was having her Papa Date with Papa Dave, Brennen and I went shopping. I really wanted some new tanks from Old Navy to wear under my shirts, but by the time we made it there, they only had Bronco Orange left. So we looked around for something for Paul for his birthday (since everything in his closet is Bronco colors!!!!!!!!!!!). People always talk about their little girls being clothes horses, Brennen could give them a run for their money. He kept picking up things in his size (they were cute clothes)that he liked. He was carrying around about $100 worth of clothes. In the end I told him he could pick one item. He picked a vintage looking batman shirt. (He slept with it clutched in his arms, he insisted on taking into church with him, and then wanted to change into the second we got out of church.)
Paul wanted to go on an adventure Saturday afternoon, and the kids wanted to feed the ducks, because granilani had a bunch of bread that was stale. We took the kids to the park that has always been good for feeding ducks for the past 27 years, but there was not even one single duck there. Ash was furious. So we went to a Park in Boise. There were a ton of Canadian Geese. They rushed the kids when they figured out that they had food. This freaked Brenn. The Geese were rather friendly. I wish I would have had my camera (I need to train Paul better in this aspect).
The park that we were at, had just had its playground refurbished, and the kids had a blast playing on it.
Ash has been asking for a long time to go so Great-Papa Hallberg's grave site at the Veteran's Memorial, so we took a nice little drive in the "Mountains". Brennen kept telling Paul to turn right, so that we could go further up the mountain.
It was a gorgeous clear day, so we could see the whole valley from up on top of the Vet's Memorial by the Flag. You can pick out familiar landmarks to help orientate where you were. We were all tired and hungry after our little jaunt around town. So we got a bit to eat. Needless to say Brennen fell asleep, and wouldn't wake up. He slept for 3 hours, and then was up until about 4 am. He was then very grouch at church.

That is very strange that there are no ducks at the park! Maybe the Avian Flu got them! HAHA!

The geese sound fun...the seagulls at the park get really agressive and come a try to grab the bread from your hand. I don't like the seagulls!
