Lunch, ducks, and paddle boats

So yesterday we went to the local lake to just relax. We feed the gaggle of ducks. Had lunch and just relaxed. My youngest son, Richie, came with Big Daddy and I. It's highly unusually that he even wants to be seen with us. So, it was wonderful that he decided to come. He actually loved feeding the ducks. He really wanted to go on the paddle boats. So I went with him. He loved it. He told me how peaceful it is for him and how he just likes to go to the middle and float around and watch the sky. It was a awesome conversation. You see my son has Aspergers, a high functioning form of autism. This last few weeks have been very hard for him and he has been very depressed so it was nice to see him smile and enjoy the day. I hope we have more days like this one!

Please if you know someone with autism . Please

look up Autism Speaks.
