Papa's Duck Pond

Peanut has this strange fascination with ducks. It seems so funny to all of us that his favorite animal is a duck. I mean most kids like dogs and cats and horses. But anything from baby chicks to Donald Duck to a turkey, to an actual duck he goes crazy over. :)

Luckily for him, and for Mama on long days, Papa's duck pond is a short hike away. OK, with three kiddos in tow it's more like a 15-20 minute hike. But, hey, it gets us out of the house and allows us to breathe in fresh air. So out we go with our left over sack of bread and head out to feed the ducks.

Peanut is not one iota scared of them. He will feed them, chase them, and call out, "Ducky! Ducky! Duu-ckyyyy!!!"





Birdie girl used to be semi afraid of the ducks, all animals in general really (except for cats). But since Peanut is brave, she has decided to be as well. Here she is feeding one of the ducks from her hand. She was SO proud and was SO excited that I got it on camera!!



Buddy-Ro likes to feed the fish. Off to the side so the ducks don't bother them, of course. ;)



And then when Daddy is home, he gives us a fun ride back on the four wheeler. :)



We are enjoying our country-livin'-fun-filled-outside-all-day-long days here at Nana and Papa's house. If I start talkin' with a thicker southern accent, I reckon you'll know why. :)
