An Outing With Ryan

On March 11, 2009, I had a doctor's appointment in Charleston,

so Gary took the day off so he could go with me and Ryan. We

made a really nice day of it. After seeing the doctor, we went

and picked up lunch at McDonald's. Ryan loves Happy Meals!

We tookour lunch over to Hampton Park which is right

outside the main entrance to the Citadel. This is Gary and

Ryan enjoyig their hamburgers!

The main reason we chose to go to Hampton Park is because

they have this awesome Duck Pond. We took bread crumbs

with us so Ryan could feed the ducks! He had so much fun!

If you look carefully, you'll see that Ryan had bread crumbs in his

hair in these next two pictures!

He was having so much fun throwing crumbs out to the ducks

and other birds!

Ryan was letting Grandpa know that he wanted more

bread crumbs!

Ryan was absolutely amazed at all the birds!

After we left the duck pond (but still at the same park) we

walked over to where the Charleston Police stable

their horses.

One of the police officers told us that we could go in and see the

horses if we want. Of course, Ryan wanted to! He loves horses!

These were two that were outside and they seemed very

interested in Ryan, about as interested as Ryan was in them!
