An Afternoon Trip

Last week we had some fabulous spring like weather!! Gavin and I took advantage of it. During the afternoon we have one hour to ourselves when the older two kids are at school. So, we went to Beus Park here in Ogden to see the ducks. I thought Gavin would enjoy it as he is crazy over all animals. Once we got to the park I noticed that the geese and ganders were exceptionally aggressive. I am assuming they had nests with little eggs close by. Well, for those of you who know me, you know I am OVERLY afraid of birds of all kinds. I have had three or four bad experiences with birds chasing me, flying in my face or biting me till I bleed!!! Anyway, I was completely scared to death as the ganders seemed to be chasing us away. Gavin was NOT scared however. He loved watching the ducks and geese. At one point, the ganders all lined up and waddle-marched right towards us. I sat us down on a bench and held my breath, trying not to move as the ganders marched directly in front of us honking and squawking!! Gavin was waving and yelling at them. We both survived the ordeal in the end and Gavin really enjoyed watching the wildlife!!
