On Sunday morning we got breakfast tacos from the Shack and went down to Town Lake. The kids were feeling lazy so we parked as close to "Pine Cone" as we could and walked across the trail to the lake and sat on a bench and unwrapped our tacos. In a moment we were surrounded by turtles and ducks and grackles - the most unfortunate flock of grackles I've ever laid my eyes on. Missing legs. Shaved heads. Misshapen beaks. Poked eyes. Life must be hard if for a grackle down by Town Lake.
Later we convinced the kids to walk a bit. As we came around the bend after the boat docks we noticed that there were more people on the lake than on the trail. The invasion of the stand-up-paddlers is in full swing. Vivian and Evan want to do it too. We'll probably wait for a week or two after school starts and try it one weekend morning.
