Feeding the Ducks












Today we decided to go and feed the ducks at the St. George Golf Course. We used to go all of the time but we have not been for several months so we thought the kids would be glad to go again. We actually went yesterday but forgot the camera so we went back again today to get some pictures. They had lots of fun but they were a little more eager to get close to the ducks yesterday. Today the ducks were all in a biting mood. They were nipping at us left and right. They kids were not happy campers when the ducks got too close and stole the whole piece of bread right out of their hands (as you can tell by the expression on Bailee's face). Brecken was brave and let the ducks eat the bread right off of his head. I tried to get pics of it but they were to fast. Bailee did it yesterday as well but the duck was chewing her hair instead of the bread and she did not like that very well. She didn't want to attempt that again today. The ducks were definetly not afraid of people. They would swarm you and almost try to take you out to get more bread. I don't ever remember them begging quite so much. Several months ago they would not even come out of the water to meet you but now you can't even hardly park without almost running over them because they surround your car. We had a great time and will definetly be taking more bread next time. It seems to go too quickly!! Thank goodness for cheap but fun family outings!!!
