Feeding the Ducks

Since ducks are one of Anthony's favorite animals, we kept saying we needed to take him to the park sometime to feed the ducks. So, one night we decided to take supper to the park, along with some bread for the ducks. Well, in theory it was a good idea. As soon as we got to the park and walked over to the picnic tables, ducks came from all over and surrounded our table. It may not sound like a big deal, but there were a ton of them, and they were quacking like crazy and getting way too close for comfort! You would think they knew we had food or something! We were feeding Anthony his jar of baby food first and trying to fend off the ducks at the same time. Unfortunately, one nipped David's leg, at which point I started freaking out that they were going to attack either me or Anthony. We somehow managed to get Anthony fed and decided to just feed the ducks their bread and then eat our food in the car! Once we started feeding them, they seemed to calm down a little bit, but as soon as David threw the last piece to them, we made a mad dash for the car before they could come after us again! Anthony had a blast throughout the whole fiasco and loved watching the ducks and hearing them quack - he didn't seem concerned at all. In the midst of it all, I managed to snap a few pictures, as it may be awhile before we gather up the courage to do this again!
