Duck Pond- November 2015

When we went to the Bronx Zoo in June, the animals the kids liked the best were the ducks. So we thought they would enjoy our local duck pond. We were right- it was a huge hit! The ducks came right over and we spent about 30 minutes just throwing bread to them. They even followed us around the pond when we changed locations.

Yay!! Feeding ducks!!

I often take a lot of pictures of something we're doing and I get accused of not living in the moment. Well, Kevin had the camera for a while and I was fully immersed in the simple joy of feeding the ducks. And I really was watching to make sure the kids didn't fall into the pond, but while I was throwing some bread Miranda moved quickly and went down the slope. Kevin caught her before she went into the pond, but he was not amused. After that, we played one-on-one defense with the kids, and left as soon as the bread was exhausted.

In the moment! Enjoying the ducks!

Miranda threw a lot of bread that didn't quite make it to the pond.
