Feeding the Ducks

We have a pond nearby our neighborhood, and we have been taking family bike rides down to feed the ducks after dinner. It's become an almost nightly thing... these ducks wait on us and come running out of the water when they see us approaching on the bikes! I guess we're just as predictable as they are. :)  Also, Carter has been really big into skipping rocks with Eric lately. It's a tough skill for an almost 4 year old to master, but he's come pretty close to skipping one a few different times. He'll get it soon enough!

These 3 ducks are the most aggressive.... especially the white one! He's kind of mean!

One night after we had visited the ducks, Carter was saying his bedtime prayer, and he prayed to God to "please help the white duck learn to be nicer." Hilarious!!

"Ummmm, don't come that close to me!"

Ella loved having the ducks walk up close to her until one night recently when she was holding a piece of bread in her hand and the duck pecked her little fingers. She cried. And has been terrified of them coming too close ever since! :)

 Carter is "shooing" the ducks away from his sister.

 

 A flower for his Momma. Love.

 Tickle, tickle from Momma!
