Public Spaces

Nate spends huge amounts of time at various parks around town. There's the 'small park' right across the street, the 'big park' a few blocks away, and the 'duck park', among others. The Duck Park has some riverside trails for easy hikes and picnics, and naturally there are plenty of ducks and geese to eat your stale bread. Also some swans, which are freaky birds that scare me a little. They make diabolical grunting sounds and stare at you with their cold little eyes, as if to remind you that they could probably do a fair amount of damage in a human/swan fight.

Here's Nate eating a sandwich on the banks of the River Charles. This is not far from the Duck Park. The lump on my front is Avery in her carrier.



The Duck Park also features the steepest slide in town, and Nate recently decided that he no longer required daddy to slide down next to him. He's a big boy.



Nate likes to give me flowers. Good thing there is no shortage of them around here.
