A Walk In The Park

Today Dad and I went to the park. As you can see it was a beautiful sunny day. I love being outside, and going to the park is always a ton of fun. When we drove into the parking lot and I saw all the slides, I squealed. Dad got out of the car and walked around and opened my door. I was already trying to get out of my car seat. Dad unbuckled me and off I went running to the slides. Not the little slide but the biggest slide of all. You see when it comes to slides, I like to climb up the tallest one and then slide down on my belly. After sliding a dozen or so times, I heard a noise in the distance. I waited for dad and we walked towards the noise. As we got closer, I figured out what it was. Right away, I started to say quack, quack, quack. Yep ducks and lots of them. We walked down the path to a little lagoon branching off from the river. I walked across the little wooden bridge, not by myself, but I waited for dad and I needed to hold his hand.

Once across the bridge, I noticed something else. I saw another Cooper, however he was flat and on the ground. Dad soon told me that this was my shadow. I just stood and looked at my shadow on the ground and watched how it moved when I moved. Soon we started walking down a leaf covered pathway and being the little boy I am, I had to drag my feet through all the leaves. Dad actually let me walk all by myself. As I walked down the path I kept looking around at all the trees and once in a while I would tell dad to look up, at the geese flying by.

Within minutes I found a stick. Soon I was dragging it through the leaves banging on trees and waving it in the air. One stick wasn't enough, soon I had two sticks. Well Dad and I kept walking and soon I ran up to him and asked him to pick me up because I was tired. So Dad walked the last part of the trail with me on his shoulders. Once back in the park, we walked down to the lagoon and walked out on the dock. There were ducks and geese everywhere I looked. Soon though Dad made me leave and I was not happy about it. I tried to lay on the dock but that didn't work. Soon I was carried away, not by my choice. Once far enough from the dock, Dad put me down and we finished our walk by dragging our feet through the leaves back to the car. Enjoy the pictures everyone!!
