Last Friday, we went as a family to feed the geese and ducks. I had found a bunch of stale crackers and held onto them until we could finally make a trip together. The Mill Museum was closed, and it had been a few years since Grant had gone to feed ducks/geese anywhere else. So, we had to call a friend who I knew had the inside scoop on where to feed geese. After scaring away the wild geese (I should have taken a picture! I think Canadian geese are beautiful!) and being politely asked to leave the grassy area in front of the State Penitentiary (oops!), we were directed to a little park just past where we were that had plenty of "starving" ducks and geese, still complete with a view of the state pen. Eleanor loved it! We all had a great time, and I took tons of pictures, so here you go.
Eleanor's first time feeding one by hand. . .
And the smiles that followed. . .
You should have heard that squeal!
Grant called this guy his "friend." This one was not shy at all. It was practically jumping like a dog to get the treat.
Grant took a picture of his friend. It's funny the pictures I get when I hand him the camera.
Look! She's surrounded with no parents right next to her, and all she cares about is dropping crackers!Videos coming soon!
P.S. Post #100! Woohoo!
There's one that always hangs out there we call gimpy. It looks as if he may have broken a leg (I assume that's what they're considered!) and walks, well, gimpy. He's the fattest one there too!

ReplyDeleteYou've got to put those videos up...that one you showed me the other night is hilarious! I love how she takes a while to get used to things. I can relate to that. Cute girl.
