Duck Pond

Today we headed to Webster Pond to feed the ducks.......we hadn't done it all summer and needed to get it in just once!! We met Sara, Mya and the babies there and had a great time. Note to self, next time wear sneakers so that when I shoo the greedy geese away with my foot I don't touch feathers......ewww.
Elizabeth was a little put off at first, those ducks are pushy. Once she realized that it was better to throw the feed in the water than on the gravel she seemed to enjoy herself. It was super cute watching her throw the feed in one kernal at a time.
Patrick did great feeding the ducks. And didn't touch anything gross!!
Elizabeth heading off, all by herself, to put her coins in the donation box, return the empty cup and get a new cup of feed. Another reminder that my baby is growing up.
We didn't last too long at the duck pond.....Sara was getting nervous with the little ones and I had run out of coins for the big kids to get more food. It didn't help that I didn't notice the big kids just dumping the cups of feed into the water rather than tossing the feed to the ducks. After the pond it was off to Santaro park for the older kids to run around and have lunch.
