Feeding the Ducks with Friends

Today was our turn to host our play group's weekly play date. Since the weather was gorgeous, we invited our friends to join us at a playground and duckpond. Three other moms and their 8 kids joined us for a fun time.

This was Ace and Ben's first duck feeding adventure since our move to Austin. We've tried before, but the ducks have always alluded us. Not so today. We met at the playground and the ducks circled us eagerly while the kids played and waited on everyone to arrive. Once everyone was accounted for, we trekked to the dock with what must have been the equivalent of at least 10 loaves of bread. The ducks waddled beside us, quacking all the way. Ten minutes later, our 9 pre-schoolers had emptied our stash and the ducks were satisfied.


Then, it was back to the playground for a snack and some more fun. It was a blast and we'll have to do it again soon.
