Feeding the Ducks

Mandy, Cady, Addie, and I took a picnic to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival (ASF) on Thursday. It was a beautiful day to be outside, especially in the shade!

Addie was thrilled to see Cady (they are such sweet friends!), but all she could talk about were the ducks! The minute she saw the first duck, shes started YELLING, "duck!" "dUcK!" "DUCK!" (all of which sounds like QWUCK!)

Watch the ducks head...

It's totally checking out wherever Addie is pointing.

She did a great job actually feeding the ducks, both the food we brought for them and her food! It's hard to differentiate between the two when your 16 (almost 17!) months old!

Besides the ducks, there was a very curious (and certainly not shy) squirrel.

It started out there, safely in the tree but still wanting to get in on the action!

See it watching us?

Before we knew it, it had scurried down to take part in the feast that was being thrown to the ground!

But my favorite things were the baby ducks! We looked up, and they were following their mama to the water in the straightest line ever!

Then they got brave and decided to get in on the action too!

That's pretty hard work for those tiny legs though! So a quick rest was in order!

And when I invaded their space a tad too much, they were off faster than I could snap my camera to catch up with their mama to stay safe.

Our little ducks had lost interest in the obnoxious ducks and decided it was time to go visit the dogs at a nearby table. Always going. Always observing. Always moving!

Happy Monday!
