weekend adventures

We have had many great weekends doing fun things the past few weeks. We try and think of fun things to do so we aren't just sitting at home doing nothing. On this particular day we decided to go feed the ducks at a lake just down the street from us. We had been saving the heels of our bread loafs to do this for the past couple of weeks. We decided that was a good idea since we would have thrown away the heels. It was really fun. Some of the ducks would actually eat from our hands, but they weren't as daring as the pigeons were. They gathered around Paul and me and loved every piece they could get!


You'll never guess what's hanging from this duck's beak.
(In case you were wondering, it's Paul's spit! Gross!)

Another weekend we got invited to go to an indoor football arena game from Ryan Pace a friend that moved back here to Arizona from Utah. Neither Paul or I had never been to a football game like this, so it was pretty exciting. On our way to the game Paul found a note on his windshield.

He was so honored that someone took the time to appreciate his luxurious car! (direct quote from Paul). He called the number to see what it was all about and found out it was bit of a scam, they wanted paul's car for $2000, but we know it's priceless:) So we go to the game. It was really exciting, the team had quite the entrance with fire and spotlights and loud music! Two little kids were sitting in front of us with their fingers in their ears, with good reason. In arena football, the field is only 50 yards so the teams score alot more than regular outdoor football. Every time the arizona rattlers would score a big cannon would go off, it scared me every time!

Before we went to the game we had some time to kill. So of course we decided to go the mall. The malls down here are so awesome, they are big and air conditioned and there are so many in a small radius of where we live. In the Scottsdale mall there is hardly anything we can afford, but we like to go walk around and window shop. As we were walking around we saw the Microsoft store had a radio station visiting. This Microsoft store is set up a lot like the Apple stores with many interactive things and computers. But this radio station was giving away concert tickets so we decided to enter the drawing. While we were entering, Paul batted his cute eyelashes and charmed the ladies to rig the drawing! To make a long story short, we won Toby Keith tickets!! We were really excited to go until we found out it's on a Sunday. We are going to try to sell or give them away.

Paul thinks it's April fools day everyday! He is always playing jokes on me. He's pretty clever. I mean, who would think to do this!?....

Yes, those are my pajamas in the ceiling fan above our bed haha! He's funny because he can never keep a straight face when he has done something, so I always know when something's up, which makes it even more funny! It's never a dull moment when you're with Paul LaClaire!!!! I will have to take more pictures of other pranks he pulls.
