Feed the Ducks!

I'll admit it. For the most part I am lazy on weekends, and I don't plan much for us to do. But this one weekend, I had to get the kids out of the house. We had been couped up all day watching tv and doing a whole lot of nothing. So I made the kids get dressed at 330 in the afternoon (ok fine I wasn't about to drag out a fight with Elijah, so he's in his pjs- the other ALWAYS wants to get dressed so that wasn't a problem), put on some coats because the weather has finally changed and there is a strong chill in the air and off we went to feed the ducks.

It took a little investigating to finally find the ducks in a sheltered inlet on the bay. However the location could not have been better. There was a quaint little path that backed up some water front apartments, that provided a great throwing angle for bread in to the duck filled water below.

The seagulls found us in about three minutes, but we made a game of trying to throw the bread to where the ducks would be able to reach it first.

Elijah's new tag line for the gulls: "Those are NASTY little birds." Repeated from yours truly.... oh well, it could have been worse.

The GORGEOUS coloring of the bay that night.
