Weekend Adventures

We had a wonderful weekend. It all started with us buying a new camera on Friday night. I will post pictures as soon as it is all up and running. To get the camera we took a little journey into Queens to go to Costco. I LOVE COSTCO. Saturday I was so proud of us because we got up around 9, got our junk together and went to the beach. (Usually on Saturdays we don't get up and going until noon.) We went to Long Beach and it was beautiful. The weather was perfect, the water temp was just right, and it wasn't too too crowded. We had a very relaxing day. Saturday night we went with a few friends to see the new Harry Potter. I am always a little disappointed because they are just not the books but they are always fun to see. I enjoy seeing how they visualise the book. Even though it is not as good as the book it was a great movie. After the move we went to Mozart's Cafe and had desert. Ryan and I shared a chocolate brownie sundae and it was delish. Sunday we went to church, took a nap and then went for a bike ride. (Now here is the real reason for this post...)
Ryan and I took a Sunday ride around Central Park. As we came around a corner I noticed a small family gathered around a large tree. There was a teenage boy standing right at the trunk of the tree with his right arm stretched up towards the branches. He was rubbing his fingers together as if he had a treat in his hand. About 8 inches above his hand on the tree was a small squirrel slowly inching his way down the tree head first. The entire family was watching and the dad was posed with his camera ready to snap the shot. When the squire was about 6 inches away he stopped but continued to watch this boys hand as it enticed him down from the tree. All of a sudden the squire JUMPED down onto the boys hand, the boy screamed, threw the squirrel on the ground, and preceded to hold his hand cry and run around.
1. Don't feed squirrels
2. if you are going to feed them have food in your fingers so when the squirrel bites down he bites down into the snack and not into your fingers.
3. Don't feed squirrels out of your hand.
4. Squirrels have rabies.
5. Don't do stupid things.
