Lake Lynn

Got the boys ready to go to they gym this morning and by the time we got to the car I changed my mind. It was so gorgeous out I thought it would be a perfect day to go for a walk around Lake Lynn. We hadn't done it in a while. As soon as we got to the first bridge the boys wanted out to run.
Mostly it was Cooper saying, "Come on Bear!" Trying to get him to come look at the ducks with him. Coop became fascinated with the ducks and was only happy if you would hold him on the railing so he could look down on the ducks. Really most of them are geese but he just keeps on calling them duckies. When I put him down on the ground he yells, "Bye bye duckies!!" Then grabs my hand again and begs to get back up.


Bear found watching the ducks ok, but this couple came walking up and I'll be damned if he didn't just grab the Grandpa's hand and start walking with the couple. We all laughed- they have 7 grandkids of their own. They walked with us for quite a ways. Then Bear got fussy and demanded the Grandma pick him up. (I had to take a picture.) The boys stopped on the last bridge and refused to stop yelling at the ducks so the couple moved on.

The walk back didn't have as happy a start as the beginning did. Cooper refused to get back in the stroller and Bear was tired so he began to scream, and scream, and scream. He typically loves to fall asleep in the stroller but not today. It was a little (ok a lot) embarrassing as we passed all these people who kept looking at him with such sympathy. I'm thinking um what about sympathy for me??? But we made it back from another Lake Lynn adventure. Cooper walked over a mile and Bear finally fell asleep. Hopefully we get some rain soon I've never seen it so dry.
