Feeding the ducks at the ponds in Vickie and Klaus' neighborhood is always a desired pasttime of the kids, so when cousin Ryann was in town, we had to go. It was great! We've got some mallards, some other white ducks, and then these large 'water turkeys'. We don't know what their real name is. The ducks are so tame, they're pretty fearless-in that they'll eat out of your hand/off your feet and you can even pet them or pick them up while they eat. We feed them deer feed corn b/c bread is actually not good for ducks when they get too much. We loaded the kids up in the wagon and away we went!
Lindsey really enjoyed taking care of baby Ryann.
Uncle Clint helping the kids feed the ducks.
We love seeing the moms and babies.
Unfortunately, hardly any babies ever survive-but they're cute right now. (Well, maybe not unfortunate-they would quickly overrun the lakes and become a big problem!)
I asked Justin to show me the ducklings, so he threw his arms out and porclaimed "Ta-Da!"
