One Fine Day

Today we had soccer registration. The boys have been looking forward to this for weeks! Josh is coaching and I think he is pretty excited as well. This league is different than the one we are used to, but it will be fun.
After pictures, pep talks, email exchange etc. we decided to go to Village Inn to celebrate another soccer season (we celebrate just about everything:) The kids thought it was so fun.
With the whole Saturday in front of us we decided to do something adventurous. We went and got two loaves of day old bread and headed for Liberty Park. I haven't really been to this park since I was a little girl. We went to feed the geese. Right when we pulled up there was a herd of geese waiting for us (serious geese). We put the boys on a bench because geese can get out of hand. We started feeding them and they were EVERYWHERE! They all started coming from the whole pond and the boys were getting a little nervous. We just did one loaf of bread and got the heck out of there!
This park is so beautiful and huge! We just enjoyed the day and walked around and all of the sudden we came upon a cute little carnival. The carousel music was perfect, I really felt like on Marry Poppins when they are in this beautiful park and come to a carnival in the middle of nowhere. The boys were so excited and we rode a ferris wheel for the first time. Josh and I actually got a little sick (aren't we lame!) Then the boys each got to pick one last ride each. Hunter picked these cute little airplanes. When he had his pick of them (there were some with camo paint, Batman, blue, orange very fun) Hunter picked the PINK one! I was shocked and tried to talk him out of it because Palmer and Lincoln were dying that he didn't pick the Batman one. He was adamant that he have the pink one. So he did. The boys then got to ride the carousel. They each picked the most manly horse they could find and had a great time.
It was a wonderful day and one that will stay in my memory as we all get older.

we love Liberty Park, used to live just a few blocks away and would walk there frequently.
