Visit to WSU Duck Pond and Museum of Natural Science

Today I had to go up to Weber State to buy my parking pass for the upcoming school year. I decided to plan a date with Dawson to go to the duck pond and the Museum of Natural Science since I would be on campus. We took some bread to feed the ducks and then we stopped and got some food to have a picnic by the pond. We had a great time hanging out with the ducks and geese. The geese would come right up to Dawson and take the bread out of his hands. I didn't eat all of my lunch so I left it in a bag on our blanket. Dawson and I walked away from our blanket to go feed the ducks and there were these black birds that were hanging around. One of the birds went over to our blanket and then tried to get in my lunch. We came running back to blanket yelling at it and chased it away. I decided I'd better fold up the blanket, grab my lunch and take it with me.

They were also having the World Archery Championship Games on campus today. Dawson was all excited about that because he had done some archery at Camp Kiesel on Saturday during his Cub Scout day camp. When we went over to the venue there was no one competing. I guess they were taking a break for lunch. Dawson was a little disappointed.

We then went up to the Lind Lecture Hall where the Museum of Natural Science is. We spent lots of time there looking at minerals, rocks, fossils, dinosaur bones, Indian relics, stuffed wildlife, learned about gravity, magnetic poles, and sound waves. I some how forgot to take any pictures of our venture at the museum. We left at just the right time because the power went off as we were going down the stairs to leave. This made it a bit of a mess on Harrison Blvd as we were trying to drive home since the stop lights were not working because of the power outage.
