feeding the ducks and Gwen

Kim and I were able to take a little adventure to feed the ducks and here we have one stepping into our trap now.
This little hut is floating in the lake and it has a whole bunch of turtles floating on it. I do believe that it is a nesting/resting area for the ducks, but today the turtles have won.
Here is Megan feeding the ducks and Kim is protecting her from the geese that are a little too close for comfort, basically they can streatch out and eat you, or me.
Here Gwen has decided that the ducks are not nearly as hungry as she is and so she ate all the bread that she was going to share. At least the ducks were not eating the crumbs off of her.



Here we are at a little fountain and Megan is getting ready to climb in, she already has one shoe off. Gwen is a little startled by the loudness of the water, but it didn't stop her from taking in the view. Afterwards we went to a little place called Amy's Ice cream and had a scoop and some free toppings, thanks to our trusty movie man James Barlow. They have a movie quote on a board and if you guess is then you recieve free toppings, I had junior mints, Kim had strawberries. One quick call to the movie master and we were in great shape. After ice cream
it was off to see the shops. And we all know what that means, a small dent in the pocketbook. But a mom has to do what a mom has to do. Oh did I mention that it was a lovely 82 degrees outside? That one is for our friends and family in the snow.

I'm just glad we got away from the killer geese unscathed.

I'm glad you kept a safe distance-My sister Heather seriously got chased by geese while on her tricycle on the last day of preschool! We laugh about it now, but she still hates geese to this day...
