Duck Park

So for Mother's Day I wanted to have a picnic at the park. The local park is so big and beautiful. And full of ducks to feed, and so my kids lovingly call it 'Duck Park'. And that's where we went for our picnic. We made the kids eat first to get it out of the way. Eating always seems like a chore to them when we are at the park. So after like 25 seconds they were done and ready to feed the ducks. This time I pre cut the bread into bite size pieces to avoid whole slices of bread from ending up soaking in the little stream. It was a hit. My favorite was Max's throw. He would start way back behind his back and then end up letting the bread out of his hand just about when it was above his head. He was always surprised when it actually landed in the water and wanted me to cheer him on when he made it. Such fun. No, he's not pushing the merry-go-round, he's just hanging on for dear life!


Sophie loved to hold on and slide across...



Feeding the ducks. Max hasn't gotten the idea of standing still for a picture. One day.




He escaped many times from the family to invade the near by birthday party for a little boy. Max loved his tiny basketball hoop. It was just his size!
