Taste Addison! May 14, 2007

Taste Addison! is an annual festival in Addison! (yes, the ! seems to be part of the town name), TX with fun for all ages. Hundreds of restaurant booths with delicious foods from the town of Addison! (now I’m just having fun typing it- I wish Ft. Worth had an exclamation point…), shows for children including an educational piece on native Texan wildlife, a hysterical clown, flea circus, artisans, and live music for adults and children.

A huge fountain/wading pool area to soak the hot children. What an awesome place!

Peeks of Bear Creek May 14, 2007

We investigated Bear Creek Park- one of the many local parks. Elijah and Sadie played on the little playground and in the sandbox with a class of all different ages of hearing impaired children communicating in many different ways with each other and their teachers.

Elijah fed the many and beautiful ducks and ducklings while Sadie ate her piece of bread herself.

We found an abandoned duck egg! Though the children didn’t touch it, Sadie thought we should knock on it to see if the duckling would come out

Turtles, turtles everywhere- sunning themselves on the shore. I snapped this picture after our voices scared 4 others off the bank into the creek.
