We visited a new park on Saturday. The weather was nice and it was fun to get out and let Owen run around for awhile. I love Saturday mornings in our city because most people don't come out until 10:30am at the earliest (unless they have to work). We are early birds, so we can be out enjoying the quite for a good 2 hrs. before we see anyone under the age of 55. This park was along the seaside, so we enjoyed the fresh air and great views.
This is just one of the hundreds of pricey yachts parked in the marina.
Does anyone else have a 2 year old that could throw rocks into water for hours on end without tiring. Really, it's one of his favorite things to do!
Feeding the ducks
The sign said that this tree is at least 670 years old. Wow!
Funny story... We were sitting down on the rocks by the water for a little rest. This older gentleman walks down to the rocks near us dressed in nice works clothes carrying a briefcase. Without hesitating, he proceeds to strip down to his undies, put on some swim trunks and water shoes and start to not so gracefully enter into the 50 degree water. We couldn't help but stick around to watch what he was going to do next. We figured he would head out into open water and swim some laps and get in a good work out. Instead, this man bellyflopped into the water, swam less than 20 yards to the nearest rock and sat in Mermaid pose for 2 minutes. He then swam back to the shore, swung his arms in a few circles, took 2 deep breaths and repeated the whole process one more time. Mind you we are still just sitting and watching this whole event, trying not to laugh. Even Owen was entertained. When he came back to shore the second time, he grabbed his towel and dried off. This whole thing couldn't have lasted more than 8 minutes. But he seemed pleased with his workout.
After the park we headed to the mall for burgers and fries and playtime in the toy store. The mall has little shows for kids most afternoons, so Owen participated in a little "Science is Fun" demonstration before we headed home for naps. All in all, a great morning!
I love my little light-haired, blue-eyed boy sitting right down in front.

It is early here and I am trying not to wake the kids by laughing at the man on the rock workout :)
And I too love the little light hair/eyed boy on the front row!
