Trip to the Duck Pond

A couple of weeks ago in an attempt to do things that were all free (except for a couple of trips for fast food....since I also was determined not to go to Target or Wal-Mart) we made our first trip to the Duck Pond at OU! Meg loves ducks and it is one of the few words she can say along with saying quack, quack so I thought they would both enjoy feeding the ducks.

Oh boy was she excited. She couldn't believe just how many ducks there were!
Brody and I were a little more apprehensive. I have had a small fear of ducks since going to school at OSU. I loved the duck pond but hated the ducks. I always felt like the feeling was mutual. I would specifically find alternate routes to class so I would avoid walking by the ducks....unless someone was with me (at least if I got attacked I would feel better if someone was there!). I am not sure if I have ever told anyone any of that....cat's out of the bag....I feel better!

We were both shocked with how quickly our bread ran out. We couldn't tear it up fast enough for them and if we didn't throw it they just got closer and closer. Brody only wanted to feed the baby ducks....so sweet!

Meg wasn't too found of me taking a picture of her in front of the fountain!

Brody on the other hand was all smiles. Oh how it depends on the day!

They both got a kick out of the ducks swimming and how they would change formations but still stay together as a group!

Brody was trying to take in the pretty view and Meg was trying to push him in the water with her feet. She really is a little firecracker!

Then we discovered some rocks

Let's see how far I can throw it

Here I go....

And gone....pretty good throw....and pretty nice outing!
