Duck, Duck, Goose

Today was a duck pond kind of day. The lake was frozen but the weather was beautiful. The ducks were beyond excited to see a sack of bread in our hands as we got out of the car. Needless to say, we were instantly swarmed. My gallant boys immediately grabbed sticks and started chasing the ducks away.  Cole fought the ducks off with a stick that couldn’t have been any more than 3 inches long.  My hero.  The boys would hide behind trees, wait for the ducks to waddle off the frozen lake and then chase them back onto the water.  When that trick didn’t work the boys pulled out the big guns, bread.  They would lure a million ducks close with a piece of bread and then the chase was on.  The ducks had to put up with a little jesting but in the end they consumed an entire loaf of bread.  I love how much fun a sack of bread can bring.
