Quack Quack

Today was supposed to be rainy.
We were lazy around the house this morning... then the time came that we NEEDED to go to the store to get a few things (ya know, the necessities...TP, Trash bags, etc...)
It was a nice surprise when we walked outside and it was SUNNY and almost 80 degrees!! Whoo-hoo!
So, we went to Target to buy what we needed. When we went in the store, Sean asked if he could have an icee when we were done - I told him that if he was good, he could have an icee.
We bought the things we needed plus a few things we needed for our upcoming vacation. When we were getting ready to leave, we headed to the cafe to buy an icee. We ended up getting a PB&J combo with an icee... and we took it to Lake Jullian.
We sat at a picnic table and ate our lunch. Well, maybe I should say I ate my lunch. Sean was too excited about the ducks to eat. He kept saying "Hey Ducky" and talking to them. After several failed attempts to get the kid to eat, I opened up the loaf of bread that we had bought and let him feed the ducks. He started out on the ground...and then climbed on the bench...and as the ducks got closer he ended up on TOP of the picnic table.
He was throwing bread to the ducks and would get excited when they ate. He got upset when the ducks would bite each other. A couple of times he said "Good Job Duckie" and he would tell me the ducks were eating from him "He eat it mommy" ... and even a few times the ducks would eat out of his hand. Most of the times he would toss it to them "Catch Ducky", "This not yours Ducky" (When intended for a different duck). It was great to see how much excitement he had over the day with the ducks!
Maybe we can do it again soon!!
