This morning Troy and I went shoping. We went to Target, and since Troy loves dressing up this time of year in the US is perfect for him. There are Haloween costumes all over the place, and he found himself a pirate costume. As soon as I had paid for it, he wanted it on. He is a very cute pirate, and he got a lot of comments from the people in the store about how cute he was.
After the shoping all of us went sightseeing. We drove to the Williams tower, and Troy loved the water wall. We then headed to downtown where we went to the Wells Fargo Plaza and the 59th floor where they allow tourists. Heading up in the elevator one of the guys in there asked us where we were from, and he then decided to join us and pointed out all the landmarks to us. That is another thing I love about the US, people are so friendly, there is no chance that a random stranger in Norway would help you out like that.
After lunch we went to the park downtown, to look at the old biuldings. When we were there the park keepers came over to us and asked if the kids wanted to feed the ducks and the turtles. The kids loved feeding the birds, and then got to see the turtles being hand fed by the park keepers.
Back at the hotel we joined the hotels BBQ party, and ate some good burgers. I then decided to take the kids swimming in the pool. Troy kept showing off how he can swim under water, and all of a sudden he looked at me with horror in his eyes. He had a bug on his finger, and he tried shaking it off. He managed to shake it off, but it landed on his neck, and it bit him. The bite site looked just awful and he was screaming in pain (and from being scared). I asked the people at the party if anyone new if it could be poisenous and they said that it wasn't. He is sleeping now but I am keeping an eye on him, just in case.
