I remember a time, when my husband and I were engaged and we made the trip to New York to visit his family. We were in the parking lot of the Grand Union feeding seagulls. It was so fun.. I remember how much we both laughed, and just enjoyed this happenstance encounter. Then there was the time at the beach, when we fed the seagulls Doritos.. they even came IN our hotel room! We were 10 stories up, and had seagulls walking around our room. It was so funny back then, and still brings a smile to my face now.

Today I was reminded of these wonderful memories when the boys and I were able to feed the seagulls in the parking lot of McDonalds.

I try my very best to make every day count with my boys. Everyday. We will occasionally grab a lunch from McDonalds and go over to the airport and watch the airplanes take off, or land. Today we didn't have to go far for "cheap" entertainment. After getting our lunch, we saw someone feeding the seagulls and waited for them to leave, then we began to have our fun too.

As we tossed the french fries out the window, the boys would just shriek with laughter. I love hearing my children laugh.. its wonderful therapy for my weather beaten soul.

We are not sure how this seagull lost his leg. Entomologist suggested it was by a shark. I'm not so sure, but you just never know.
