Should've brought my camera ...

Claire and I went down to Town Lake this morning to get some exercise. I like to take her somewhere that she can play or have some fun after I'm done working out. I mean ... riding in a stroller can only be fun for so long. :)

Today, I went to the Barton Springs section of Town lake and took a nice long walk. Halfway through, we sat down by the water to feed the fish. I so wish I had of had my camera - what happened was unbelievable. When we walked up there were some fish and turtle so we started feeding them. Then, some pigeons came. Then came the swan followed by the ducks. My final count was eight turtle, a school of fish, four swan, two ducks and five pigeons. Not only were we surround by animals like some crazy Disney movie - they were all gathered within 2 - 3 feet of us. At one point a pigeon was standing on my foot waiting for food. Claire was wide eyed the entire time.

Beautiful summer mornings down at Barton Springs ... we heart Austin.

Kristen - you are a mighty brave momma! I would have screamed, gathered up my child and fled the scene! I am terrified of birds - I almost jumped out of my seat when you said the pigeon was standing on your foot. You are my hero! :)
