The "Arburrito"

We took an extended Thanksgiving trip down to Southern California since we may not be getting down there again for over a year. We spent lots of time visiting everyone that we are even remotely related to, but on Monday we had some time for a family outting. So we decided to head to the Arboretum, or as Megan called it, the "arburrito."

We had a relaxing day strolling around the grounds that I realized I probably hadn't visited in more than ten years. I am not sure the day was so relaxing for the birds, though. Megan had fun chasing the peacocks and Mac sent a whole flock of geese into flight amidst a lot of honking protests.

Despite the more exotic birds, Megan still liked the ducks best. And she had us in stitches when the little coots started their nasally honks. "Duckie tooted," Megan informed us. Those kids say the darndest things!
