We went to Eisenhower Pak in Orange. I took a small Dove Bar chocolate ice cream in the cooler so we could have a snack after the swings and slides. I had to negotiate with Aubrey so that I could get these pictures...Aubrey said that if I didn't listen to her she was going to tell Granma Tere on me and then I would get a spanking...Spankings are the way to get you to listen...
