Quack Quack

Joe had his first experience feeding the ducks, geese, and pigeons at McKinley Park today. To say he was enthralled would be an understatement. We started off the day feeding them and then went on to the playground for a little fun with the other kids only every time I turned around he was running back off towards the duck pond. Thank goodness they had it fenced off near the playground otherwise I might have ended up with my own wet little duckling.

We took a lot of bread and some crackers which turned out to be a good thing since the other mom's tended to hand out whole slices of bread which promptly went sailing into the pond fully intact. I'd had the forethought to tear mine into little pieces prior to leaving our house which provided more than enough for Joe and some of his pals.

It was a real joy to watch him find so much joy in such a simple thing.
