Field trip!

Today we went on a field trip to a Lake where we could feed some ducks. The lake is near the Lakeside Apartments, called Lake Lenore. It is special to us because it is where we began dating, and where we were engaged. There are other duck ponds in town, but they are further away and charge for the day use. We had a picnic there with Daddy and then fed the ducks some bread from home. We attracted about 15 ducks! All of them were female. I think I saw two males hanging out under a far bush in the water, but they wouldn't come out! Oh well... The kids had a great time seeing ducks pretty close, and we even heard them quack! We took that as a thank you. :-D We even had a few ducks swim from the other side of the lake to eat our bits of bread! And it always seems no matter how much bread you bring, it's never enough!

  1. Hi! Thanks for visiting my site! I'm following you now as well. My kids love to watch the ducks swim. They would sit for hours quacking and laughing.
