Two days ago, we walked over to a park about eight blocks from our house. There were some birds in the park kind of like parrots that are just in the wild. They are an invasive species. They were green and they were pecking at the ground. They were with the pigeons a lot. They were cool.
Also in the park there was a statue of Guillermo (William) Tell.* Our mom was very excited. I learned that he was a guy who shot an apple off his son's head with a bow and arrow.
There were some pretty cool boats that you could rent and you could go sailing down the river. There was one boat that had a swan painted on the front. We thought our friend Santiago would like them.
*Note from Marilyn: Of course, after seeing the William Tell statue, I made the boys come home and learn the story about him and listen to the William Tell Overture. There was also a statue of Confucius in the park, but we'll save that learning opportunity for another day.
Hi Teo! If you could put a statue in that park, who would you choose? Miss you!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Franklin Roosevelt. It just seems like something that would be in a park. One of the main roads here is named for him. Miss you! Teo
