Duckie Park

(Last post of the day, I promise)
We have gotten into the grove of spending our weekends at Grandma Tina's. Its a good way for Sophie to spend time with Grandma, she LOVES Grandma. Its also a way for Denny and I to spend "me" time. I'll scrapbook randomly, while Denny plays on the computer. Sophie doesn't mind, because she can just follow Grandma all over the apartment. ANYWAYS!
Yesterday we (I) decided we would go to the Duckie Park. We took some bread for the ducks, but the stupid seagulls had invaded the pond. Sophie was fascinated by the feathered blobs that waddles around honking at everything. (the strange black thing lurking in the background of the picture is Emo Aspen, Denny's little sister)
This particular duck was super fat. It was also the only duck that would get close to us, all the other ones ran away. It was picky when it came to the pieces of bread it would eat, which we found odd. That just makes me wonder how on earth it got so big?
Denny came up with a bright idea.

Denny - "We should put Sophie's feet in the water."
Me - "Um, no."
Denny - "Why not?"
Me - "Its freezing."
Denny - "Pfft, no its not."
Me - "Why don't you put YOUR feet in the water?"
Denny - "OKAY!"

I should have known better. That man thinks everything is a challenge. He made his way onto a rock and proudly stuck his feet right into the ice water. Sophie then decided that she too wanted to join in.
After the park we went out for a snack (Denny's bribe to come to the park). First it was Dairy Queen, but they weren't open. So we went to Burger Stop. I was given a banana slip, minus the banana. And a large fat man came in the store to yell at an elderly woman who worked there. We found out the large fat man was a supervisor. Denny got the name and number of their superior, so we can complain. Maybe we will get free food, hopefully this time they remember my banana.
