A Day in the Park

So. it's getting to be the last days of summer. Daniel, Tiffany and I decided to take the kids to the park . It was something to do and cheap. After all, there were 10 of us altogether. I have really been wanting to take some pictures of all 7 grandkids on playground equipment. Many years back ( I won't say how many), Kelli and I, had taken our children to MacArther Park. She took this awesome picture of all of them lined up on monkey bars. I wanted to recreate a similar picture, of my grandkids. Daniel and Tiffany help set the kids up and try to get them to smile or at least cooperate for the pics. All in all, we got it done and I think they turned out pretty well.

After a picnic lunch, we all walked down to the river to feed the ducks. Kiddos always like feeding the ducks. We saw all kinds of ordinary ducks, as well as, the really in bred, mutant kind. There were geese, swans, and this really sort of cute thing that Daniel called a water rat. Looks sorta of like a beaver or otter with out a flat tail. this thing was about 2 feet long. All the kids were in awe of it, until it climbed out of the water and looked like it just might come after you. Time to leave. On to the train.

Kids had a great time playing on the play ground, taking pics, feeding ducks, and riding the train. we ended the day with a trip to McDonald's and some ice cream. It was a nice way to spend one of the last days of summer.

The biggest kid of them all!
