Feeding the Ducks

Last week our big adventure was going to feed the ducks at the Arboretum. The weather here has been so fantastic that I feel like we have to take advantage of it while we can---I know it won't last long! The ducks were a little snooty---I think they are a bit over-fed at this pond, but the birds and little turtles were happy to eat what the ducks didn't want and the quints thought it was great!

I brought my camera, but when I went to start taking pictures, I realized that I left the battery at home charging. After we had been there a while, I figured out I could still take some pictures with my phone. I don't have a fancy iPhone or anything like that, so I didn't know how great the pictures would be, but I was actually surprised by how well they turned out.

GG, Kaydence, Kassidy, Kyndall, Rustin and Ryder hurry over to see if they can persuade the ducks to try some of their bread.

Here they come! I was more than a little nervous having all of them so close to the edge. I must have said "Back up!" at least 100 times while we were there :-)

At lunch, Ryder and Rustin made off with the bag of crackers, then hid under the table so they could eat them all.

The picnic area had some water fountains that the kids loved.
