Long car rides are not very kind to Grandad's knees, and so we opted to stay in Abilene last weekend.
We ended up going first to the pond by the zoo, in Grover Nelson Park, to feed the ducks.
At first we couldn't understand why the ducks were just NOT coming to get the bread. They are usually just swarming around anyone who happens by there. This time around, I could even let Jaxon walk around without fearing that he would be besieged and harassed.
Then, we saw that someone had scattered a bunch of corn on the ground, and so it wasn't at all surprising that the ducks and geese were not nearly as peckish as they usually were. Hrmph.
All that running around did gived Jaxon his first skinned knee, though. *sigh*
Grandad opted to stay in the truck and watch Jaxon toddling by, but that didn't stop him from spending some quality time with the bub :)
We then drove by the airport to see Cindy off as she waited for her plane for her annual trip to Africa with the Medical Mission.
David had gotten a fishing license earlier the same day, and so we decided to find a picnic table somewhere where we could fish AND eat. Grandad suggested Cal Young Park, a popular place for disc golf players as well as fishing enthusiasts, and so we headed on there for our next adventure.
We had a lunch of empanadas, while David tried to put together the fishing kit he had gotten at Walmart earlier. The wind was whippin' around us, making casting the line quite difficult, and in some spots, just impossible.
Meanwhile, Jaxon got a little tired of being confined to his stroller ....
and so, after slopping on a bunch of sunscreen on the boy, Momma let him go exploring a little bit :)
