Out and about today

Yesterday I had to go to the Doctor and so I need to go pick up my prescription and do some other errands.  We have a Doctors appointment on Monday for Akvila, and we wanted her to get used to riding in a vehicle. 

We headed into town to go to the Post Office and the Library to drop off some items.  I started to think we were near Charlie Daniels Park, lets go there.  So we went to the playground and I snapped a few pictures.

We stayed there for about an hour.  She would watch the little kids and did not play as much.  At one point it appeared she wanted to help this little boy go across the bouncy bridge, but she was unsure.  Finally the boy crossed himself and Akvila moved on.  She didn't want to go down the "tube" slide, she wanted me to go down instead and she watched.  So I went down... I didn't realize there was a puddle at the bottom of the slide... wet booty.  :-)  We stayed a little while longer and then headed of to the Hospital pond.

We feed the duckies and the fishies... she found the fishes exciting.  Watching them swim up and take the bread away from the ducks.  While there, there was a man walking his Beagle.  She was terrified of the dog.  She watched as Peggy and I petted, but she wanted nothing to do with it.  So a trip to the zoo might come later.  If she is freaked out about being close to animals, maybe the zoo is not the perfect idea yet.

Since she was enjoying this we headed over to the lake.  There was a lot of ducks and geese there.  These were a  little more aggressive and she was worried about them.  We walked down the shoreline to were a man and his two boys were fishing.  She was fascinated, but not sure what she was thinking.  Was she watching so intensely because the were holding these fishing poles or because they had dark skin?  We take it for granted here in the Untied States to see the melting pot of all people and races.  In Lithuania she only saw people who came and went in the Orphanage; who were probably all white.

We left there and came home because we all had to go potty.  Currently she is playing with a little hand held touch and speak.  She keeps pushing the letters, not sure if she is understanding or just likes the little music that is with it.  We are also listening to a CD with Children's nursery songs.  Time for Jack and Jill............
