Memories of a Seagull that put a smile on Jess' face

We were visiting with Jeremy's family this last weekend. When visiting Jeremy's family they all tell stories of the passed. It's cool. So Jeremy shared one of our funny stories with his cousin Richard that I will re-tell.
When we first moved to Salt Lake City I did not know that the state bird was the seagull. And had I known that I would have never believed it because there is no ocean here. But there are tons!! Well one day right after we first moved here and all the snow had melted away, we decided to go fishing up at Jordanel Reservoir. I had made up a lunch and at lunch time Jessica who was 3 at the time decided she only wanted chips. Trying to be a good mom told her 'no you must eat 3 bits of the sandwich first' Well we all know how 3 year old can be at times. She had a fit and refused to touch the sandwich. So I refused to give her chips. The bread was drying out and I was getting more upset so I decided to walk away from her for a minute. Here comes a seagull to Jessica's rescue. It swooped down, grabbed the whole sandwich, took it out into the lake and ate it. Jess giggled and said 'can I have chips now'.

That is too funny. I can totally see her little face when she realized she didn't have to eat the sandwich :)
