A Visit from Danielle

The kids with Danielle at one of our favorite resturants - Streets of New York
Lauren was having fun getting to eat out.
Danielle went to school with Spencer, and this was in the morning before they left. As they were getting in the car Danielle said "aren't you excited Spencer?" He said "I have already been to school Danielle, this isn't my first day". I guess Danielle was more excited than Spencer. He did enjoy having her at school with him and I know she loved it!
We went to the park to feed the ducks and they just about attacked us. We decided because of Christmas, they were not fed much and they were just hunger. Spencer loved it. He thought it was great that they here right there. We did have to run from them more than once.
This goose would not leave us alone. It was right on top of us the entire time. We were afraid it would bite one of the kids, but it just wanted the bread!


We packed a picnic lunch and went to the park to play. The kids always love a picnic.
We got to ride the train. If it were up to Spencer, he would go to the park everyday and ride the train. The train takes a 10 minute ride around the park and the kids love it. It really is a neat little train ride.
We all had a great time at the park.

Spencer feeding the goose. He thought it was great. He kept calling it Papa goose.

This was right after we ran away from all the ducks behind Spencer and Danielle - Spencer jumped up on the wall so they wouldn't get him.
It doesn't get any better than this!
I am not sure who had more fun playing at the giant playground, Danielle or Lauren. I think it was a toss up.
Danielle and our little rock star on New Years eve. He was so excited that it was New Year's eve. He wanted to be the entertainment for the evening.

We all had such a wonderful time with Danielle here. The kids of couse love to have her around because she is so much fun. We had a great time running to differnt parks and around town. Danielle loved it here, or so she said. We tried to talk her into staying, but I guess she does need to finish college. Danielle and Sue are coming back for a visit at the end of Febuary, so we are looking forward to that. We have a few more places to visit next time. Spencer is planning it already!
