Today we had a lot of fun at the park. Austin loved feeding the ducks. His talent for throwing things really came in handy. While we were feeding the ducks, some of the cutest little ducklings came over for some food. We were worried that the bigger ducks would hog it all, but soon found out that those baby ducks were a lot faster and didn't need any special treatment.
After feeding the ducks, we went to another area of the park that had a water play area for children. No one was there at the time, but Greg (to the dismay of all other parents in the park and to the delight of all their half naked children) figured out that it worked through a motion sensor. Luckily we had a swim diaper and trunks in his diaper bag. Austin went nuts! He loved every minute minus when he tripped and smacked his head on the concrete :(... Luckily the only damage was a bumped head and a small cut on his lip. He's one tough kid!
We all had a really fun day. It makes me realize how much I love being a wife and mother. The other day when we were having family home evening, I was reading a children's book which correlates a father buying his daughter a bicycle and the atonement. When we got to the part about Jesus, I pointed to the picture and told Austin who it was. Austin then looked at me, got up and ran to a picture of Christ we have hanging in our home, pointed to the picture, and said "Jesus". I was floored. I am so blessed to have such an amazing child.

Wow, he did great in the water park!! Cute story about Jesus! It always amazes me how much our children actually do pick up on! They are far smarter than we give them credit for!
