Feeding the "gooses"

Cooper and I made a couple of trips to the park today. The first time we just played at the playground. While driving through the park to the playground Cooper spotted some geese in the water. He said, "momma, look at those gooses. Honk honk." I remembered how we used to feed the geese when we were little. I thought that would be something new for Cooper. After we played for about an hour, we left the park, had lunch at McDonald's, ran to WalMart, and headed home for a nap. Once he woke up, we popped some popcorn, and headed back to the park.

I was worried that Cooper would be scared or timid, but he jumped right in with two feet!!!

We had parked over at the playground and started walking until we found some geese. On the way towards a flock of them Cooper says, "mommy, look at the babies!!" You can't really see them (they were way out towards the middle of the pond), but I tried to take a picture of the LITTLE things. They were TINY!!!!

Once we found our spot, I guided Cooper through the process. I showed him how to throw it, and helped him lure the geese towards him. He was so excited and he did a great job feeding them. He never got scared even the littlest bit.

An airplane was flying over and distracted Cooper.

This guy did not seem very happy. I actually got a little nervous as he got closer and closer to Cooper. It still didn't bother him.

Once we were done with all the popcorn, we went back over to the park. Cooper wanted to play for just a little bit. This morning when we were there it was PACKED!!!! I think every daycare in town was there. Since it was less crowded, I decided to let him play again. This is a playground that we have been to many times before (on the blog as well). However, this is the first time that the water has been turned on for the kids to play in. Cooper normally runs all over this place to play, but not today. He was only interested in the water features and swings.....mostly the water.

When the sprinklers turned on all he wanted to do was run through them.

Maylea slept through both visits to the park today.

As we were getting ready to leave, grandma wanted a picture with her grandchildren. Cooper would not cooperate. He was pouting because he did not want to leave. He finally turned his head and very sadly said cheese.
