Skating Like Crazy And Chilling With Harley

Harley and I got up around 8:14 and decided to go to the post office and picked up a package.

Then we headed out to goose park. The real name of the park is the Maurie Jacobs park. We call it goose park because of the huge flock of plump geese that live there.

We decided to walk along the river for a ways and I went in a little bit, however; the water was so cold. I still would have gone in for a swim but Harley said not to. Like a jerk.

Then we went on and until we came to the Owen Rose garden. We walked around checking out all of the roses and ornamental cherry trees until Harley noticed what must have been a 200 hundred year old tree that was thought to be planted by Eugene Skinner himself.

After that we headed to the skating rink. Harley did not skate however I had a good time I fell over about two times but it was worth it.

I skated for two hours and then it was time to go so we went to the the makers space. We had a huge and delicious meal while we watched documentaries about beavers.
