During Violet’s visit, we took a walk in the park, enjoying the neighborhood fiddle player practicing his tunes and taking in the egrets and ibis that were nesting along the park’s interior island. On Sunday, we took the kids to the park to feed the ducks, see the birds, and just generally enjoy the beautiful day. 
Thank goodness for wagons! Perfect for the occassion.
The morning was overcast, so it is harder to make out the many birds against the white sky. They were everywhere!
Seagulls, too.
Ducks everywhere, as usual… even in hidden spots!
Will took over pulling the wagon for awhile. Kate LOVED it.
Will was sporting a straight-outta-Boca look of bermuda shorts, palm tree top, white socks, and dark sandals. Oh — and Superman shades.
Looking to Oschner Island.
Will insisted on taking the path through the Audubon Golf Course.
Loyola’s chapel rang and played tunes while we walked through.
Will found a golf ball! (And Paul pointed out the mini-cache hidden under the bridge.)
The tree (below) lost one of its enormous branches in Katrina’s winds. 
Houses along the park. 
Crazy Kate, chattering away at her brother. (One of her teachers has decided that Kate sounds like a “pterodactyl”). 
Egrets were flying all over the park. Hanging out in people’s yards on the parks edge, flying through the walking paths, getting in the way of golf carts. This one is flying out towards Magazine Street at Audubon Zoo.
Egret and golfers.
More egret and golfers.
What a lovely morning!
