Roman around town!

Things have been going slow...which most of the time is discouraging!  
However, this weekend a slow Saturday + beautiful weather = the perfect day!

After a very slow morning we headed out to a local college that has a BEAUTIFUL campus!  After driving deep into their campus we parked and began our walk.  First stop was the Swan Lake.


Note to self:  ALWAYS have week old bread/french fries available to fend off the nesting Canadian Geese!  WOW!!!  I knew they could be mean, but never experienced it first hand.  Once we got the Swan on our side, she protected us from the geese.  Honestly, I think it was self preservation... she wanted the bread for herself!  I'm okay with this ulterior motive 'cause it kept us from getting "goosed!" 



  

After we were far enough away from the nesting geese and our bread was all gone, the other geese allowed us to enjoy some time on the swing!  Isn't this a sweet picture of my little people!?!


They were quite excited to find all kinds of places to pose for pictures!  Even adventurous to get to some of the places.  Confession:  I did video them getting there in case they fell in so we could send it to AFV... the mistake was telling them that.  Kate was "trying" to fall in after that!  Seriously stopped and said I'm jumping in now!





Afterwards we headed downtown; sure love this area of town!  We found a fountain area (this is not it) that the kids could play in.  We had to leave because it was too much torture watching the other kids in their swimsuits.  You know us, being the mean parents we are, would not allow them to get drenched while fully dressed!  I'm sure they will work through it in counseling some day! ;0)


Still learning to slow down and enjoy the wait.  But yesterday it was a little easier!

  3. Planning to video them in case they fall so you can send it to AFV is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time! :)
