Great Weekend at Tara's

Debbie, Kelsey and I went to visit Tara last weekend.  We had a great weekend.  The weather cooperated and we went to a great park in Greenville to feed the ducks.  The ducks did not want to be fed and went to the other side of the pond.  So, the kids threw a bunch of bread in the water anyway.  A couple of geese came over and nibbled a bit before going back over to the other side of the pond.  Oliver tried to pick up some goose poo.  Tara kinda freaked out and stopped him before he actually got a handful.  He seemed convinced it was nasty because he pointed and said, "Yucky" or something like that.  After trying to feed the ducks, we went to the playground and all of the kids had fun.  Even Kelsey, Tara and John.  There are some cool old playground slides and swings at the park.  There is an old, abandoned snack bar building.  Behind the building was an old merry-go-round.  Wonder if they would sell that?  John said the park had a small zoo back in the 1950's and the city held fun day events there such as concerts and dances.  A trolley ran from downtown Greenville to the park.  Really cool place to go play with some history.

The people with the bread are here.

The ducks and geese are way over there on the other side of the pond.

Except for this goose.  It no interest in the bread.  The kids must have thrown half a loaf around it and the goose just looked at it.

Chummed the water with bread.  Waiting for the ducks to show up.

Hey, there are some ducks coming over from the other side.  Kelsey says, "Huh?"

Any doubt Tara and Kelsey are related?  Look at the expressions on their faces.  LOL

Finally!  Some ducks that eat the bread!

Lovebirds...

Cool old merry-go-round.  The cages in the background might be part of the old zoo.

Old snack bar building.

Headed to the house.
