We went to feed the ducks last week. It surprised me that everyone liked this activity!!
Meet George! Zoe liked him because he has a mohawk! She would only feed him!
Tori's first experience with ducks was a little scary. She loved feeding them and would get as close to the edge as she could and then throw the bread with all her might. I thought she was going to fall a number of times and would hold onto her shirt or pants to help her balance or catch her quick! She hated my hand there and would knock it out of the way and scream. She would quack and yell duck so they would come closer!
We also went on a little nature walk. I gave the kids sticky bracelets (duct tape turned backwards) and told them to stick things to it that they liked on there walk. They had a good time finding things and walking around enjoying the outdoors!
I think the best thing was throwing things into the pond! Yeah, go figure!!! They did stop for a moment so I could snap one picture! There was no way I was going to let Tori on that rock and she was pretty mad about that!!!
I LOVE the sticky bracelet idea! You always have the best to share, Melissa!

So fun! Thanks for the sticky bracelet idea. I've been meaning to take my kids to feed the ducks.
