A Day at the Parks

  
 
Today was such a beautiful day that Mrs. Branch took me not to just one but to two great parks in Birmingham.  The first one we went to was Railroad Park in downtown Birmingham.  This park has great walking and running trails.  On one side of the park you could watch the trains go by, hence the name Railroad Park.  The park has a great playground.  There was an exercise area and a place for skateboarders.  You can even bring your pets or ride a bike.  There was a lake full of these giant orange and white fish.  Mrs. Branch said they are called Koi fish.


As we were enjoying our walk, we ran into some really nice young ladies from a sorority at UAB passing out frozen popsicles as part of a community service project.  They were so nice I had my picture made with them.  They invited me for a tour of their school which was just down the street a few blocks.  I agreed to meet up with them next week.
 
The other park we visited was historic Avondale Park.  The first thing we did was feed the ducks on the lake.  Turns out the pigeons were just as hungry as the ducks.  There was a kickball game in progress which we watched for a while.  Then we walked around taking in the beauty of the park.  There was an amphitheater at the back of the park.  I pretended to be on stage and acted like a rock star.  Here is a video of me at Avondale park.
