My cell phone is broken. I really don't like having a cell phone, but I know it is a good thing to carry around when I leave the house... just in case. I don't have a data plan so if I see my (when it was working) cell phone go on the internet I hit the red button so fast and try to back out of it in total panic mode. My cell phone wasn't a touch screen and a lot of my friends like to make fun of me for that. Also the fact that sometimes I don't text anyone back for days (I am good about getting back to business related text however). I am usually running around with the boys or working so I get distracted easily. I actually went to college for Computer Science. I am good with technology, but I don't seem to be able to handle the distraction of a cell phone very well.
So I was forced to go to the cell phone store tonight. I didn't want to get roped into buying any fancy plans or phones although I do think I am going to get a smart phone that has a fancy camera in it. I just wanted to make sure my phone was truly broken. I found out that according to my plan I can't get a new phone until September 8th. Humm. So my reason for sharing this is that I went in armed to the store with my best weapons, my two boys straight from dinner filled with pink lemonade and ice cream. Clearly they would be in total out of control mood and the people at the store would want us out of there as quick as possible. But then it happened. I tried out a demo and uploaded my Blog. Oh it was so pretty to see on a phone. The screen was so nice. I could see comments and I could go to links. Oh this magical world of cell phone and technology. While this was happening my boys in true over sugared mood were tearing across the store pretending to be monsters none the less. I left the store without a phone, but I'll figure out what I am going to purchase tomorrow. Any suggestions??? I want something that I can check my email, get directions, text and take quick pictures when I don't want to bring my camera along.
So since I sugared up the kids I had to wear them out before we went home. So we headed to one of our favorite parks. Last time we were there it was low tide. Tonight it was high tide. So instead of crabs we saw lots of swans. The boys needed no help tricking the swans to come over to see them.
They held out there empty hands pretending to have food...
here they come...
come and get it...
the boys were giggling so loud they couldn't talk as the swans flooded in to their pretend food...
the boys are animal lovers and they aren't mean to animals. they were however enjoying tricking them by tossing small pebbles and dirt into the water belly laughing the whole time...
they were so amused they were snorting they were laughing so hard...
I counted 42 swans this one wasn't fooled by the sand and pebbles.
We also saw some other birds. I need help identifying them...
I promise to try to get better shots next time....
Our trip was a success and the boys were worn out by the time we left.
