While he mowed one of "his" yards, the girls and I went to the North Park to enjoy another beautiful day. We walked around the lake, enjoying nature and even Jenica kept up with her bum-leg. I'm glad she could walk around the lake with us. (#436) Isn't the reflection in the water pretty? I love this time of year, when all of the flowering trees make their grand appearance. (#437)
Today is the second day in a row with absolutely NO wind. (#438) That is definitely a blessing that caught everyone's attention. Everyone's talking about it.
We think the swans have a nest by the waterfall, since we've noticed one of them sitting in that area every day for a few days now. But as we got closer, the swan left it's nest and started walking quickly towards us.
So we left it alone and headed the other way. I see these yellow bushes around town, and they are such a vibrant color right now. The nice thing about the our park, is that they label everything. (#439) It's called a forsythia. I'd love to have one of these in our yard.
After a while, we noticed the swan left the area by it's nest and joined the other swan in the water. It began swimming straight towards us, so we were ready to walk quickly backwards if it climbed out of the water. Notice how pretty the eastern sky is with the pink hue? (#440)
The swans are so pretty to watch, and we were hoping to see them get close enough to form a heart with their necks. Didn't happen, but they were still fun to watch. (#441)
We enjoyed watching them swim around, as we waited for Chad to finish mowing. And Jillian even got an opportunity to try and break up a duck fight. She watched one duck "bully" another duck and chased them in the water in her attempt to stick up for the smaller duck. It gave Jenica and I a good laugh. (#442)
