So there I was this evening, feeding the ducks at the duck pond. And one was eating from my hand. Suddenly, I ran out of food! Well... perhaps it was more gradual than sudden because it only ate the bread one tiny piece at a time... but anyways, there I was, surrounded by ducks. Upon discovering that I wasn't going to feed it anymore, one particularly hungry black duck bit my toe. Hard.
And the idea of DuckTales! was born.
Upon pondering what to write in my first blog entry, I thought I would tell the tale of The Visit of Dino also known as my little brother whom I shall call DINO is visiting me in Provo for two weeks. And we have had some Grand Adventures.
We drove down from Boise on Monday. Since then, we've...
...been to the Museum of Art (it's not particularly extensive or amazing, so if you go, don't plan on spending more than an hour and don't get within 3 feet of the pictures or the little security guard with a sweeeeeeeet accent will tell you you're getting too close to the paintings so could you please back up... but I digress)
...hiked to the Y on the mountain (Dino had to stop and take a break about once every few minutes, and on the way down he twisted his ankle so I got to carry him down the mountain. But we had a great time and the view from up there is AMAZING.)
...went to see SpiderWick at the dollar theater (excellent movie, I highly recommend it)
...went job hunting at the mall (Dino was such a stud and was incredibly patient and well-behaved as I dragged him from store to store for five hours)
...attended a smashing party at the high school where I work (We played Wii, and watched National Treasure 2. Dino really likes when I take him to high school. He made friends with some teenagers, and discovered he can fit inside the lockers!)
...cleaned my room (oh, what a project!)
...and fed the ducks (Dino chased and caught a couple big ones, we saw a mother duck sitting on some eggs and she hissed at us, attempted to rescue an abandoned baby duck, oh and we played catch with the football for a while.)
The best part of the week though was on Thursday when we got a phone call from Uncle Mark! He was visiting Provo for the day and he came and ate dinner with us. I made mashed potatoes and gravy and we had a jolly good time engaging in witty conversation... or something like that. But really, it was very enjoyable and we're crossing our fingers that he will come to Lagoon with us on Tuesday!
Anyways... it's time to call it a night. More adventures to come!
