A Beautiful Day at Liberty Park-Ben & Charlotte


A most amazing day happened again with heaven-like weather and the park beautiful with long-necked geese and wonderful children.  Devin & I started Charlotte and Ben off feeding the geese and ducks with six loaves of bread (sharing a loaf or two.)  The lake at Liberty Park was shining and the geese always eager to eat.  Fascination set in by viewing the aggressive geese and those who stood back patiently waiting.



We had a picnic lunch of peanut butter & jam sandwiches, chocolate sandwiches, cheese balls, apples, and orange drink near the children's playground where after finishing lunch the kids played in the water some.
 

 





















The kids had a ball. Charlotte cried when time to leave.

After the park, Ben and I went to Cummings for a chocolate Strawberry.  Ben found an enticing candy skewer with a ghost on top.
 
The peep ghost is gone.  Yum!

A Wonderful Day at Liberty Park with Bensen

After orchestra, Ben & I stopped at the Wonder Bread Store and found a wonderful surprise.  We bought 6 loaves of bread to feed animals for $1.  What a bargain!  We headed for Fashion Place Mall eating lunch with a coupon at Hot Dog on a Stick!  We then headed for Liberty Park, but stopped at Neighborhood Bakery for a BYU football sugar cookie, mint whoppie pie, and an eclair for Gaylene.  Liberty Park here we come.  With our bags of bread we headed for the bench to feed the ducks (I love Bensen's drawing of us.)  We shared lots of bread and fed the geese & ducks lots.  The geese seemed to rule over the ducks in their hierarchy and were very bossy, even cruel

Gaylene was trying to show Ben how not to be afraid of the geese.  She slipped down the muddy lawn falling flat on her hehind and here we stand mud and all

We chased this squirrel hopping from tree to tree.



Ben loved all the flowers and looked carefully at each one.
Waling back to the car to eat those goodies.  Yum!
